Review of Los Amantes Pasajeros

Dire Almodovar sex comedy, a return to his earlier slapstick form, without much merit. I dozed off almost immediately - despite some sexually explicit scenes which ought to have been at least arousing if not interesting. But they weren't enough to keep me awake, which means it's not easy to summarise the convoluted narrative. 

Basically there's a flight with faulty landing gear, and the passengers in business class are drugged by the camp gay stewards so that they end up having a lot of sex with each other - the passengers in economy are just drugged into a stupor. There's more, but you can read the Wikipedia article if you want a summary.

Watched at Jane's shop in Horns Road, Stroud, as part of an ongoing project to watch all of Almodovar's films. This was the worst one for a while.
