Al final recién se volvió interesante. Espere más de la combinación Ken Russell/Oscar Wilde. Ame a Glenda, ella como siempre increíble.

Maybe the most Ken Russell movie I’ve seen despite the small scale. Both in the fiction and the fictionalized history, being too horny is guaranteed to get you in trouble.
