Trying to be Buñuel (and failing)

The pros: some very attractive people to look at.

The cons:

What was the film trying to say? It was mostly people mooning around, unconvincingly, interspersed with some mild sex scenes.

Also, tropes: unappetizing old 'genius' providing our heroine's sexual awakening, love (or is it sex) triangle, violent, screechy mother.

It tried hard - too hard - to be profound but much of the dialogue was just nonsensical. It was clearly also going for an art-house vibe, but the lack of emotional engagement made that a slog. Watch if you're bored and have no other way of accessing very soft porn.
