Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
So we have some hippies, we have an uptight couple. Hippies are nude, carefree, American. Couple is rich; he's got a stick up you know where; she wants anyone else's stick up the you know where. Miscommunication ensues resulting in tragedy. This is not Larraz's best film, nor his worst-- it just kind of exists. Some nudity, sex is limited to a few scenes at the end. Actors are serviceable; Angel Alcazar, I believe is the main hippie guy, brings an intense sex appeal that reminded me of Joe Dallesandro with a little bit more range. Film also has none of the atmosphere of Larraz's earlier work, or even Los Ritos... For Larraz completists only.
