But if you listen to the score, right from the opening moments composer Umberto Smerilli makes a bold declaration about what kind of movie it is: nervy, tempestuous, winking and just a little bit melodramatic.

His mirror-clad house in Palm Springs, “Mirage,” got a wink in the Showtime series “The Curse.”

There’s even a winking reference to her Pussycat Dolls fame in the backstage bit that opens the second act.

Well, the big stuff has been talked up in advance – through nods and winks, official briefings and unauthorised leaks.

And the “memoir” we’re invited to observe is a wounding one, rife with heartbreak and trauma — but also, as it turns out, raunchy humor and slapstick pratfalls, literate puns and winking sight gags.
