Quirky, colorful and desecrating: my three adjectives to describe Almodovar's style, and in particular this film, "Dark Habits", released in 1983.
Some frame from "Scarlet Diva" (2000) directed by Asia Argento.
It might not be a perfect movie, infact, is full of defects, first of all for the acting and the plot.
But, despite this, this movie's got something, maybe the psychedelic atmosphere, or the fact that Asia Argento in a 2000 movie spoke about something private that she would have openly say about 19/20 years later. So I don't know why you should watch this movie, but I think you should.
"Kynodontas" is the original title of "Dogtooth", a 2009 movie directed by one of my favourite contemporary directors, Yorgos Lanthimos.
He'll reach the "mainstream" audience with the great "The Lobster"(2015), but I think that "Dogtooth" remains his masterpiece.
The plot. The strage way of acting, everything is cured in this dramatique movie, with a strange remark of grotesque, that Lanthimos will resume many times in his movies after this.
