Feßle mich! (1989)

Feßle mich!: Directed by Pedro Almodóvar. With Victoria Abril, Antonio Banderas, Loles León, María Barranco. An unbalanced but alluring former mental patient takes a porn star prisoner in the hopes of convincing her to marry him.

“Our hero is a mentally ill man who canu0026#39;t stop thinking about a girl who rocked his world back in the past. He is released from the institution and goes ahead with the paint by numbers obsession masquerading as love routine. This is the kind of love where you beat the living $hit out of your girlfriend because you love her so much and then complain to her afterward.. look what you made me do- itu0026#39;s all your fault you whore because I love you so much.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile this is a completely sick and abusive way to run a relationship, apparently some women like domination and the intense attention they get from a psychopath. This explains a lot of seemingly unlikely pairings in the world- deep down inside, a real girl likes to be submitted by the alpha male.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you understand this, you can understand this movie and how it plays out- otherwise you will be screaming at the movie yeah right – could never happen- but the FUNNY thing about this movie is it could and does happen. Bad girls need lots of attention.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe script is rich with turns and twists which bounces off the fact that our leading lady, a former porn star and heroin addict trying to kick has just finished up a regular movie and they want to call her back for post-prod.-Problem is.. sheu0026#39;s tied up at the moment with her new boyfriend…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is a romantic comedy with good old Spanish humor which revolves around fiery romance and doing the dumbest thing possible in a situation, –it mirrors what the testosterone told you to do.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI was reminded of Jamon Jamon with the lead character-who is of course.. Antonio Banderas. Before seeing the film-I thought Banderas was a negative for the film, but he actually does this character quite well!”
