reception

For the lexicon of international film , the film is “a comic-like comedy that caricatures the colorful illusory world of consumerism and its disciples with clichés that are celebrated with relish and attacks middle-class and male fantasies. The viewer sometimes gets stuck in the throat of laughter. "

With Ein ferpektes Verbrechen “[...] he [Note: Álex de la Iglesia] delivers again a malicious comedy about interpersonal relationships and the depths of the human soul. In the microcosm of a department store, de la Iglesia stages a perfidious game that looks like an experimental set-up for the cynical illustration of the social functional principles in general. Its main thesis would be: Social status is directly related to the economic and sexual capital an individual has at his disposal [...] The fall of the hero from heaven to hell also functions like a nightmarish allegory of the imprisonment of the free bachelor in the conjugal prison: the female man loses all his capital. [...] The epilogue, which gives the film a carnivalesque resolution, seems too artificial to round off the turbulent story satisfactorily. "

On filmtipps.at the film is rated as an “absolute must for friends of rough humor”.

Dietmar Kammerer from the taz is amazed “how he manages to quote Alfred Hitchcock en passant ( Always Trouble with Harry ), to bow to Luis Buñuel ( The criminal life of Archibaldo de la Cruz ) and with all references his own to develop over-the-top, fast-paced visual style ”.
