As is the Spanish director’s want, there is lightness, a quasi-comedy, rather than degradation, to this creature’s descent into apparent sordidness.

Meget sober og god film om prostitution og sado-masochisme. Som sagt sober, så hvis det er smuds man er ude efter, er det nok andre steder på nettet man skal lede efter det. :)
