SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
tom van de Bospoort The first slight disappointment when watching a film by Almodovar, It had promise at the beginning and middle but then followed on to a rather disappointing end, but never the less it is a starting point for his other films and you can see where his slightly unusual touches have started.The usual shooting of Almodovar is usually more refined, so is the music and acting, thus making this a slight disappointment, but then again who makes a good film straight away, you learn from mistakes, improve on the weak bits and get out your ideas to the audience.A six out of ten, not bad, but not recommended.
Cristian Life in the underground could be horrible, and "Pepi, Luci, Bom y otras chicas del monton" proves it. In this way, the film has a good topic, but at th end, i think ... it doesn't achieve it. Really, i thought than "Pepi, Luci, Bom y otras chicas del monton" (after all, the title is very creative)will another of that funny films ... but, don't. The story of "Pepi, Luci, Bom y otras chicas del monton" is about Pepi, Lucy and Bom. Pepi, a victim of a rape by the husband of Luci that is the girlfriend of Bom (Bom is friend of Pepi), want revenge. That three women become friends. The film is very dark, i think, because some scenes are like that, dark. The movie has the funny parts, but after all, with a little decadent "thing" that makes it very uncomfortable, because makes it see like a good thing. But, well, i cant blame it because that was the life of people who lives in th "underground" world. There is a thing, that i love of "Pepi, Luci, Bom y otras chicas del monton" after all, and is the funny narration and the publicity mind of Pepi when we see their commercials. After all...*Sorry for the mistakes ...well, if there any
Claudio Carvalho While playing with her Superman's cards in her apartment, Pepi (Carmen Maura) is visited by her neighbor and dirty policeman, who saw her vases with a plantation of marijuana on the window, rapes her and she is not arrested. Pepi plots revenge and calls her punk friends, and they mistakenly beat the policeman's twin brother up along the night on the sidewalk of a street. Pepi introduces her punk singer friend Bom (Alaska) to the policeman's masochistic wife Lucinda (Luciana), and when Bom urinates on her face, she falls in love for Bom and leaves her husband. Pepi, Luci and Bom go to underground concerts, bars and parties, but when the policeman meets Luci alone, he beats her up and she returns to him, while Pepi and Bom stay together."Pepi, Luci, Bom y Otras Chicas del Montón" has not been released in Brazil and I saw this low budget movie in Spanish without subtitles, therefore I understood only parts of the dialogs. The first Almodóvar's feature is a calling card of his style: irreverent, twisted, bright, tacky, shabby, outrageous, hilarious, underground, a kind of Spanish version of John Waters. The women, as usual, have strong lead roles. The colors are very alive, and the costumes the most weird as possible. I hope to have a chance to see this movie with Portuguese or English subtitles to have more fun with a fully understanding of the details of the lines. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Not Available"
fhernandez86 When seeing this film you try to say: OK, Almodóvar is improving his films with time and this (his first one)could be the best of his earlier films. However, you begin to disappoint with the first dialogue (silly and absurd, no provocative), and it's better if we don't talk about the papers and acting (what happend to great Carmen Maura?!!).If you take the challenge and go on seeing the film, it's full of bad directing, worse cinematography and the worst story and dialogues I've ever heard and seen. In sum, it's rubish.
