Micro-budget Spanish drama. Literally: “Oedipus the Slave”
This reinterpretation of the classic Oedipus myth transports the cursed hero into contemporary Madrid, exploring themes of love, sex, and freedom amidst a gritty backdrop of homosexuality, transsexuality, prostitution, drugs, and poverty.
Hard pass.
2.9 at IMDb. I agree that it is that bad. I could’t watch it, and it may have the ugliest cast since Freaks. I know who Myriam Mezieres is, and she didn’t always look like this. She was a fairly attractive woman in her day. Unfortunately, nobody now alive can remember her day. She was cast in this role for the realism, since she knew the original Oedipus. She called him “Eddie.”
