Review of Baba Yaga

Beautiful photographer Isabelle is pursued by beautiful witch Baba Yaga in an attempt to seduce her in this mess of a film based on a Italian comic. An quasi-artsy movie, the movie is beautifully filmed but is devoid of anything remotely entertaining. Even the copious amounts of nudity can't really give this wooden effort life. All the beatnik, pretentious, moronic dialog hampers this film immensely and furthermore the plot is rather boring and tedious. A woefully pretentious eurotrash mess if there ever was one. I can't find it in me to honestly recommend this mess to anyone.
