Who but Pedro Almodóvar would make a movie in which a nightclub singer named Yolanda, whose boyfriend has died from a heroin overdose, hides from the police in a nunnery--only to discover that the nuns have more perverse lifestyles than her own? The nuns of <I>Dark Habits</I> use drugs, write lurid pulp novels, design high-fashion habits, and keep a tiger in their courtyard. Yolanda (Cristina Sanchez Pascual) gets caught up in the head nun's scheme to regain the patronage of a wealthy noblewoman, but betrayal, illicit love, and a campy musical number are waiting in the wings. <I>Dark Habits</I> features Almodóvar regulars Carmen Maura and Marisa Paredes, as well as a bit part by Cecelia Roth of <I>All About My Mother</I>. Fans of Almodóvar's magnificent later films (like <I>Habla Con Ella</I> (Talk to Her)) may find <I>Dark Habits</I> a bit thin, but it offers its own charms and comic delights. <I>--Bret Fetzer</I>
Viewer Reviews
The film is not excellent but the characters are. The film should be watched for the characters it creates. An LSD addicted nun, another is a lesbian, and a drug dealer of dubious character seeks refuge in a convent. Must watch it. If there was ever a funniest attach agasint the church, this is it.
