In this Segundo de Chomón film, it seems that domestic violence is pretty funny! My, how times have changed. It begins with a wife throwing things at her husband and he responds by knocking her flat! He storms out of the house and comes upon a weird lair filled with magical freaks. Much of the rest of the film seems more like random camera tricks than narrative but in the end, the sorceress makes the wife magically appear and the couple are happily reunited.
The film is very weak on story and bombards the audience with special effects--not a recipe for a great film and a weak effort from Segundo de Chomón. Plus, try as I might, I don't think couples beating each other up is a good basis for comedy.
