Print check viewing at Orion, Helsinki, 16 June 2005. The last entry in Bigas Luna's "sex trilogy", this time from a young boy's viewpoint, a personal journey into fantasy memoirs like the ones of which Fellini was famous. The framing story is about climbing the human tower in a fiesta. The son's place in the family has being toppled by a newborn baby, but he still desire's the mother's breast. One need not be a detective to suspect that an obsession like this has its origins in the director's fantasy life. There is a circus couple with an ageing motorcyclist who is a latterday Petomane and his young, sensual wife. There is also a young singing lover to compete for her affections. Bigas Luna milks everything from the subject. The story is beyond taste, but the film is again gorgeously shot. Alcaine the cinematographer and Piovani the composer bring a lot to all the films of the trilogy.
