An overlong, over-loud, pretentious bore!
22 March 2024
Who did they think to please with this?!? It's 97 minutes of nothingness, of which 80 minutes are wasted on seeing a bunch of unattractive people (supposedly professional dancers) jump like crazy up and down in some dilapidated school hall, on a nauseating, full blast electronic sound drone. Apparently someone spiced their sangria with LSD (seriously!) so this results in an increasingly orgastic frenzy of ecstasy and violence. Well, that's at least what the synopsis suggested, labeling it pretentiously as a shocking intense experience. If so, I totally missed it, probably because of yawning too much. It's endlessly the same tedious yelling and grabbing and jumping and sexing. In between we hear (as far as the over-loud music allows) various people exchange various incoherent titbits of gossip, flirtations and insults, and then we see them going at each others throats. But some kind of narrative is nowhere to be found. There's even a cute little kid dragged into all this, who in the wake of the drug-infused insanity is misplaced and locked in a closet. I wonder what child welfare would have thought of that. So to sum it up: a ludicrous pretentious bore. Avoid!!
