Climent as a murderer Blanca Li as a victim Music Perez Prado's "Concierto para Bongó" serves as background music for some scenes, including the Pica'os self-flagellation scenes, a car chase and Kika's rape scene (when replayed in television by Andrea). Tite Curet Alonso's song "Teatro", as sung by La Lupe, is the film's musical theme. Themes The film central themes are depravity and hope, and it has a corrosive humor. The film comments on the intrusive nature of reality television which was a relatively new phenomenon at the time. Reception Response to the film was mixed; some called it Almodóvar's most intense and surprising work to date. The film has a score of 59% on Rotten Tomatoes from 17 reviews. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer listed it as one of the 10 worst films of 1994.
