Explores the confrontation between the woman who has everything, including emptiness, and a penniless poet who has nothing but the ability to fill a wealthy woman's needs. "There are different kinds of bad movies. Some are simply wretchedly bad, like well, you know. Others are bad but fascinating and "Boom!" is one of these. "It isn't successful, it doesn't work, but so much money and brute energy were lavished on the production that it's fun to sit there and watch. "Being so awkward and hopeless on its most fundamental level, this is a film for voyeurs." [Roger Ebert] |
