I absolutely adored this film.
Don't get turned off by the subtitles (It actually makes this movie better)- I'm telling you- if you have a half a brain and at least one eye, you should love this flick. Amid the plethora of Grade F mainstream films out nowadays, with recycled plots and overexposed actors, this original dark comedy is a refreshing departure with Penélope Cruz, Lluís Homar, and Jose Luis Gomez all giving inspiring performances of life caught in a treacherous love triangle that's delightfully sinister, darkly hilarious and beautifully senusous.

It's an exuburant tragi-comedy, non-cheesy, and beautifully shot. You can take a date, a grandparent or roll solo. VERO-fied sexy.
Almodovar... two thumps up :D
ReplyDeleteHave you watch his movie "HABLE CON ELLA"??
It's a shame that sometimes people will talk trash about good movies just by the fact that they go into a "zombie-like mode" while watching a movie.
I hope cinemas have Los Abrazos Rotos, if not you can always get anything at the piracy store on almost every flea-market ;)
Ciao!!!
How cute: you signal you have taste by calling them films.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen this one but generally love his stuff. Women on the Verge is hilarious. Though I've never cared much for Penelope Cruz.
Art House Cinema, Literature, Foodie and a fan of the Smiths... can you be anymore Awesome Miss Vero. Keep up the great posts on your blog. Oh I saw 'Away We Go' The other day which is good for a laugh and you've inspired me to read Catcher in the Rye. :) Matt
