Movie Reviews of Dark Habits
Movie Review: Must watch even if just for the characters
Summary: 3 Stars
The film is not excellent but the characters are. The film should be watched for the characters it creates. An LSD addicted nun, another is a lesbian, and a drug dealer of dubious character seeks refuge in a convent. Must watch it. If there was ever a funniest attach agasint the church, this is it.
Summary of Dark Habits
A nightclub singer and junkie hides out with a group of unconventional nuns when her boyfriend dies of an overdose in Academy Award? winner Pedro Almodovar's irreverent and biting comedy. . new transfer, 5.1, filmographies, subtitle controlWho but Pedro Almod?var would make a movie in which a nightclub singer named Yolanda, whose boyfriend has died from a heroin overdose, hides from the police in a nunnery--only to discover that the nuns have more perverse lifestyles than her own? The nuns of Dark Habits use drugs, write lurid pulp novels, design high-fashion habits, and keep a tiger in their courtyard. Yolanda (Cristina Sanchez Pascual) gets caught up in the head nun's scheme to regain the patronage of a wealthy noblewoman, but betrayal, illicit love, and a campy musical number are waiting in the wings. Dark Habits features Almod?var regulars Carmen Maura and Marisa Paredes, as well as a bit part by Cecelia Roth of All About My Mother. Fans of Almod?var's magnificent later films (like Habla Con Ella (Talk to Her)) may find Dark Habits a bit thin, but it offers its own charms and comic delights. --Bret Fetzer
