criticism
The lexicon of international films judged that the film used "the stylistic devices of the genre to whisk you away into the world of film noir", but developed "but increasingly morbid and erotic stylistic elements designed to break taboos". In doing so, "it crosses the boundaries of good taste and presents itself as an echo of the 'Greek tragedy' full of perversities and fetishes".
