My criticisms relate mostly to the stealing of a cultural reference and horribly mangling it - in this case the culture being that of "gypsy" which I feel very strongly about. Spanish guitar was influenced by romany guitar but is *not* the same and gypsy women were persecuted as whores and witches precisely because they did not wear corsetry (amongst other reasons)! Grrrr!
Anyways the film was reasonably enjoyable. I might even invest in the DVD when it is in the really cheap 5 for £30 racks (which shouldn't take long).
