About 30 years ago I several times saw this movie, and still ever I remember the great impression, made by its touching and poetic actualization into human (and political) modern myth of the old Christian archetype; such in embarrassing pictures, beautiful scenes and shots; in puzzling images and metaphors; in moving music, rhythms and songs; in fine, sincere corporality and love scenes; in a ravishing tempo. Although violence, usurpation and cruelties are playing a (very functional) role as well, seeing this motion picture is not at all a saddening or disgusting experience: certainly no more than when undergoing the catharsis caused by a classic tragedy. - Why this inspiring movie seems to be forgotten? Maybe for political reasons? Where one can see it again?

I went to see this garbage at its premiere in my home town as it was filmed in the area. The theatre was packed as several local ladies were extras or has been given minor roles in the movie and they were to appear topless, node or in escatological situations.

Suffice to say the theatre was only one third full before the intermission. Sane people left long before that. A jumble of disconnected situations ranging from ethnical miths and leftist guerrilla propaganda left those who soldiered until the end credits asking themselves WTF!?

To answer the question by user "mollev" on the *only other review* from 2008:

I should say: My guess is the studio threw it to the garbage bin shortly after the premiere as I don't think more than a hundred people paid to bore themselves to suicide after the never too unkind reviews in every media. I still want my ten pesos back!
