Review of Kika

Kika (1993)
5/10
KIKA (DIDIER BECU)
27 March 2004
I am quite an easy person but some things I can't understand, the meaning of this movie for instance... Never been that much of an Almodovar-fan myself it was a very difficult task to watch one his most extravagant movies ever. Do I need to tell the story? Let's hope there is one as the viewer is in the company of some dumb girl called Kika who is looking for the love of her life and somewhere she can't decide between a father and son. To tell something very simple, Almodovar thinks it's better to mix that up with some stupid detectivestory, something psychological (a dumb performance from Veronica Forque who plays a sort of SF=inspired TVpresentator who is looking for freaks), something hilarious (if you can make rape like slapstick then Almodovar is your guy) and actors who are completely not at their place, Peter Coyote for instance. Come on, guys, this is just as dumb as a current Eddie Murphyfilm but it's only for the so called intelligent whatever that might be worth...
