5 minutes into "Madame Web" and it's glaringly evident that this is going to be one of the worst studio films you have ever seen.
Carlos Saura’s “Peppermint Frappe” plays like the love child of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Vertigo” and every film Luis Buñuel ever made. This is a film about the fetishizing of women. There are moments in “Peppermint Frappe” that you look away in horror and disgust, but only because it is true.
I do not know exactly what Carlos Saura wants us to come away with after watching “Peppermint Frappe”. It has the structure of a psychological thriller and unfolds like one, yet there is something deeper at work. This is a title I have to really think about. I want to unlock its secrets.
