If you liked other Saura early strange movies, such as Peppermint Frappé and Ana y los lobos, you will certainly like this one. I was not able to discover any political metaphors (present in his other films from the period) here, which does not mean that there are none. Instead, I like to see it as a study of a marriage. Two people, feeling estranged from each other, decide to play games of taking roles to make each other more content. As the games advance, it gets harder and harder to return to reality... And Geraldine Chaplin is so beautiful here, you can feel how deeply Saura was in love with her...
