Like everyone else here: the first half is a bit difficult to follow, the second one not so much. I really liked it, but I'd have to watch it again to make more sense out of it.

The film has many memorable characters, each in their different way: my favorites are Raul Julia's defense attorney and Delay Guardia who really breathes life into that slow man. When he hears that he's lost the case, he's so still that he actually looks twodimensional.
