A surreal comedy about sex that comes as close to charming as Greenaway ever gets.
It may be his (Greenaway's) breeziest and kindest-hearted effort to date.
As powerfully as the film lingers in the mind, one can't help wishing he were led just a bit more by his heart.
(Greenaway) is often described as a director whose movies "are not for everyone." The obvious retort is that neither are the Three Stooges, but at least everyone understands them.
8 1/2 Women is a collage-y, self-reflexive sort of film that is designed to shock but more often just annoys.
This anti-narrative screwball comedy, a sort of police-drama re-enactment of Fellini's themes in "8 1/2," keeps most of the jokes off-screen.
Inert, unfunny, and not even interesting as a dirty movie, 8 1/2 Women could well rank as one of the worst films of the year.
