Pepi, Luci, Bom

Overall, I found the film, "Pepi, Luci, Bom," fascinating, not because of all of the gratuitous sexuality, but because of its abnormal, erratic plot structure. I felt like the film kept me on my toes the whole time, inspiring a handful of genuine emotions in me, from awe, to disgust, to amusement....

I was amazed how the character of Pepi handled her own rape... while she was eager to get revenge on her attacker/assailant, I was not sure if Pepi ever experienced the psychological torment that usually accompanies an episode as traumatic as rape. I imagined she would have acted a lot more hurt and a lot less, forgive me, "peppy" than she did.

I enjoyed seeing many of the women employing their personal agency, but I did not understand quite how what they were doing was going to stop their oppressors from oppressing future generations of women. I was glad that the characters like Pepi and Luci escaped the mould of patriarchal society but I did not see (within the part of the film we viewed in class) any serious examples of Pepi or Luci opposing the society's values for all of society to see.
