Tie me up! Tie me down!

Goodness this is an odd film. Not surprising it has courted controversy at various times and places; explicit sexuality, lewd photography, abduction, bondage, drug abuse, "being Spanish" (check wikipedia on that one) and goodness knows what else.
It is sort of a cross between a romcom and a horror thriller though you are never sure if it is actually one or the other - till the end. The soundtrack is often very dark, full of foreboding, Hitchcockian; but the film never delivers any horrific content more often flirting with farce, softening the implicit violence with innocence and surrealism, even pathos at times.
The tension from this ambivalence is what makes it watchable; there is something here for everyone and will certainly get folk talking and more than likely laughing. Not surprisingly it was a blockbuster in Spain when it was released.
Watch it with friends
