Who are these wounded angels you see walking around modern cities? What makes them at turn so repellent and so attractive at once? Basically thats what the film is a psychological study of what the author thinks is at the core of these women. Then he tries to weave a murder mystery around his obvious obsession. Unleashing every wet dream cliché he obviously harbored towards them along the way. Turn the poor confused lesbian back straight with your throbbing male presence. Check. Psychologically examine the poor subject and discover her past littered with rape and mistreatment. Check. Then weave into the tale the obscenities of a patriarchal family and their crimes against Jews and women. With the righteous male lead uncovering it all! Seen it all a million times in various forms. The film is fairly well made but it's all been done a million times in various ways. And as the title says it all at the end of the day it all boils down to a European's wet dream. We deserve better don't we? New truths, new tales, new adventures rather than the same recycled head based observations from 60 years ago?

And as for 'these' women walking around the city? Maybe they like ink and metal and no the lesbians among them probably wouldn't touch your member if it was made of gold and crowned in diamonds. Maybe thats the point of what many of 'these' women do, to tweak the fragile male ego. Looking at this film it needs more than a tweak.
