Synopsis

In this viciously black comedy, a department store Don Juan spends his days selling ladies things they didn't know they wanted and his evenings bedding them. When a fight over a missed promotion accidentally kills his rival, a deranged, aesthetically-challenged female shop assistant helps him cover up the mess, leading to a major nightmare for him and her dream come true.

Reviews

"De la Iglesia is a mercilessly agile talent."

   - M. E. Russell, Portland Oregonian

"A wicked good time."

   - Eric Campos, Film Threat

"It's great fun, propelled by a terrific musical score by Roque Banos that combines the hammering doom of Bernard Herrmann, the antic jollity of Nino Rota and the urgent sprints of Lalo"

   - Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

"Tremendously funny and entertaining."

   - Luke Y. Thompson, Dallas Observer

"El Crimen Perfecto is a joyride that leaves you feeling drunk and dizzy and swearing that you haven't touched a drop."

   - Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
