In this Spanish-French comedy-thriller, porn queen Roxy Foxy (Bibi Andersen) is in Madrid promoting her new film and also scoring the orgasm-inducing aphrodisiac known as Blue Ice. Strip-club manager El Calvo (Jose Manuel Cervino) thinks the drug stash is safe with junkie Chano (Javier Manrique), but it's discovered by Carla (Maria Esteve). Other characters include an investigative journalist (Adria Collado), who is writing about Roxy, and a computer geek (Gustavo Salmeron), who spends so much time on the Internet that he leaves his partner Ana (Nathalie Sesena) sexually unfulfilled. The original title translates as Don't Talk to Me About Men Because I Get Atomic. Shown at the 1997 San Sebastian Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

Set amidst the gender-bending tumult of the Madrid nightclub scene, this black and twisted Spanish comedy features excerpts from the lives of a number of offbeat characters. First there is Max, a gigolo who has returned to Madrid to rekindle an affair with Yeye, the lover he betrayed. Max is a murder suspect and is pursued by a psychotic cop. Yeye's roommates are the nymphomaniacal Monica and lovesick Maria, who yearns for the love of her neighbor Carlos. Then there is Alberto, a gay fellow who finds innocent solace in the arms of the heterosexual David after learning that his latest lover Alex is married with children. The main character's lives converge at a series of parties and club hopping sprees all of which are presided over by a trio of lavishly made-up drag queens. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
