For the very few readers of this newsgroup who are not total dumbasses,
and who are not too RETARDED to watch a movie with subtitles which
doesn't have people jumping over flaming buildings and kicking each
other's heads off, and still want to see something uniquely creative yet
which is nevertheless some FUCKED UP SHIT man, I recommend Kika, by
Pedro Almodovar. Of the five or seven Almodovar movies I have seen this
appears to me to be among the most representative and possibly the most
coherent and technically refined. This is the sort of movie which
cannot be described by its plot, but only by halting and inept
descriptions of some of the characters and events. To wit, the title
character is a flaky makeup artist who is the center of a vortex of
bizarre events and characters, such as: The scarfaced hostess of a lurid
tabloid TV show who wears astonishing goth/horror gowns and hairstyles
on her show and rides around on her motorcycle looking for accidents and
murders in a video suit with a camera on the helmet and lights over the
breasts - she got her scar from her ex boyfriend who is now Kika's
boyfriend (who only seems to enjoy sex while he is photographing it) who
is the son of Kika's not so ex boyfriend, a writer who now lives
upstairs from them and seems to be having simultaneous affairs with
Kika, her best friend, and anybody else who drops by. Kika's cook and
maid is a six foot tall bent-faced hook-nosed strangely sexy lesbian who
longs for Kika and whose brother is a deranged ex porn star jailed for
"crimes against public health" who escapes from jail by getting
permission to participate in a parade of self-flagellating Penitentes.
And then things happen. And everybody's apartment is FABULOUS. This
is one of the very few movies which include a rapist who WILL NOT QUIT
RAPING even though two police officers have GUNS ACTUALLY IN CONTACT
WITH HIS HEAD, and they have to literally DRAG him, STILL RAPING, off of
his victim. If John Waters were less flaky and more professional he
might someday earn the title of America's Almodovar.

I was working at a movie theater when "Kika" came out, and we got it.
One of the few times people actually complained to the city and tried
to have the movie banned from our theater. I mean, that didn't even
happen when we had Larry Clark's "Kids" or "Bad Lieutenant."

I remember the scene where the porno star rapes Kika because he had
the afternoon off and wanted to rape someone. He only took four hours
of nonstop thrusting to rape her, too...she got bored with the whole
thing and said, "Are you done raping me now?!?"

Soap operas and chick flicks, right?

If you like el cinematico espanola,
I'd recommend "Maria Full of Grace",
a poor columbian waif whisked
into the world of international drug
smugging to earn $800.00 flying to
NYC with a belly full of
condoms stuffed with drugs.

This Kika sounds interesting, though.
