Rotten to the core!
16 May 1999
The photography was decent and some footage meant to seem from decades earlier did seem that way. For the rest, I suggest covering your eyes to protect yourself from the onslaught of cinematic cliches and scenes that uncomfortably resemble many that have been seen before. The movie deals with a joint Spanish and German movie effort in the late 1930's or so, with the supposedly original idea of filming each sequence of the movie twice, once in each language. In the process, the film makers (in and out of the trite movie within a movie concept) handily clock in on endless stereotypes and stale dialogue.
