Reseñas (11)
A musical whose plot is merely an ingenious backdrop for an enormous cinematic legacy and a celebration of artistic and life's incoherence and extravagance. It gets a bit slow in the end, but otherwise it’s an absolutely unprecedented and deservedly iconic whirlwind of funny musical sketches, cleverly written, wittily staged and, above all, incredibly acted! Tim Curry is phenomenal as a transsexual caricature of a mad horror scientist, as if he was born for this insane and unique role in film history, and it's all embellished and spiced up with two more cherries than the adorable Susan Sarandon, whose feminine assets I want to see at home every day.... just want! 85%

Combinación del mundo de terror y musicales parece imposible. Se trata de una adaptación de una obra de teatro, que tenía su éxito en Inglaterra. Rápidamente se convertió en una película de culto. Una pareja enamorada se encuentra con su coche roto y buscando un teléfono encuentran el castillo de Dr. Frank-N-Furter que les invita para quedarse por la noche. Desde ahí surgen situaciones graciosas y muchos conflictos filosóficos. Que significa la fidelidad, es posible enamorarse de alguien aunque no sea perfecto y que es justo?

Even in an ordinary screening, without high heels, rattles and rubber gloves, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is endlessly entertaining and, during the existential songs, it is a touching defence of eccentricity and a tribute to the sci-fi and horror B-movies of Val Lewton and William Castle. Thanks to the tastelessness, affectedness and consciousness of its own decadence, every gesture, every prop and every deviant costume screams “camp”. The film dares us to despise it and dance with it. Both surprisingly happen at the same time, inviting us to experience it again and again, just like repeatedly listening to the soundtrack (I’ve had “Touch-a, touch-a, touch-a, touch me” stuck in my head for a few weeks). 90%

OK, another film whose cult status I can’t understand. The ear-shattering, awful 1970s music does highlight the depravity on screen, but it also made the film almost unwatchable. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is perverted in the exact awfully perverted fashion that I can’t understand, let alone like. On top of that, Tim Curry is almost unpleasantly convincing in the role of a sweet transvestite from the transsexual planet Transylvania… Overall, it was one of the least imitable film experiences I’ve ever had, and I’m giving it two stars for that, but my tastes are elsewhere.

It is perhaps bizarre but original. Unfortunately, it's also a somewhat uncoordinated affair, which after a rousing opening starts to rehash the stereotypical system of musicals without any further innovation or invention. Sharman earns points with promising hints, but he could have pushed a little harder. That’s quite unfortunate because this madness stands on its own two feet only thanks to the divine Tim Curry, whose tranny creation is unparalleled on screen. All in all, it’s as entertaining as De Palma's (sadly underrated) Phantom of the Paradise.

What more can I say about the presumed musical legend, than that its humor, as well as the individual songs, were just not my cup of tea. And I respect the British humor as well as I respect a similar sounding music. Nevertheless, since I’ve heard endless stories of how people are dedicated to this movie, I will refrain from a more in-depth review. It will be for the better.

Susan Sarandon almost constantly in lingerie, a free-spirited transvestite, a castle of freaks, a fat biker, a reversal of puritanism, and good taste getting one slap in the face after another. This trip to the strangest castle in the area simply turned out as contradictory as expected. The songs are mostly fine and catchy, but the plot they are attached to is unbearably bizarre and always completely unrelated to any hint of a storyline. And of course, the best song is "Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me".

“Don't dream it, be it.” Done. Several times already and perhaps many more to come.

Transvestism, playing with bisexuality, fetishism, and voyeurism combined with 70s pop art and classic rock and roll, all in the form of a musical that looks like a parody of B-movie sci-fi horrors. However, any plot is purely secondary, and it can generally be said that looking for deeper meanings in it is a complete waste of time. In reality, it's more stupid than Flash Gordon from 1980, and that's really saying something. Basically, it's about having fun and provoking a bit, as it was projected as a big hit for late-night screenings for older teenagers. From my point of view, what saves it is the music - not that it's exceptionally great, but some of the melodies are quite catchy. Meat Loaf's rock anthem got to me so much that I played it four times in a row. The third star is for originality and overall craziness because something this bizarre is not often seen in movie theaters. Susan Sarandon stands out from the ensemble cast, and I think she had a great time during filming. She probably won't get another role like this in her career. When does an actress of her caliber get the opportunity to wear a skimpy corset like a girl from a brothel and act in such debauchery? Overall impression: 50%.

A really unusual and quirky musical, in which the transvestite Tim Curry stands out the most. I found the plot crazy and off-the-wall, which is not always a bad thing. What I really have to praise were the songs, which together with the colourful sets and costumes created a great audiovisual atmosphere. The young Susan Sarandon was also a delight. In short, an original film that may not appeal to everyone, but I found it above average.

I didn't expect to enjoy the film very much. It's talked about too much as a cult classic, but in its case, it's absolutely deserved. Great performances in a brilliantly twisted script, dominated by Tim Curry, and of course, the songs that easily get under the viewer's skin. This is alternative beauty.
