About
You may click with this if you enjoy provocative, chaotic dark comedies with bright style and bad-taste satire, somewhere between High Heels and Labyrinth of Passion; Not for you if sexual violence played for uneasy laughs is a dealbreaker.
Pros: bold dark humor; colorful offbeat energy; sharp media satire | Cons: messy sprawling plot; disturbing sexual content; uneven tone
