Dir. Pedro Almodovar, Spain, 2009, 127 mins, subtitled.
Cast. Penelope Cruz, Luis Homar, Blanca Portillo, Jose Luis Gomez.
Almodovar returns and reunites with Penelope Cruz for a sensuous film-within-a-film that is a moviegoer’s delight. A lavish melodrama sparkling with the director’s trademark humour – this is a tale of desire, power, duplicity and fate steeped in noir cinema conventions. As the film unfolds in flashback, a writer (Homar) has given himself dual identities and tries to compartmentalise his life after he loses his love (Cruz) and his sight in a car accident. This feels like the work of a master filmmaker at the height of his powers, taking stock and exploring his cinematic roots, and finding that “joy comes lurching out of the darkness to carry you away” – Cannes Festival review.
