The History of an Oscar-winning director Exit
see an Almodóvar movie is and always will be a new experience, but "Broken Embraces" is so different and yet so "as always ", that moments like a Hitchcock thriller and at other places and landscapes are common to any romantic film, Rossellini seems, say some critics.
The truth is that there are two or three scenes that take us back to the genius of Almodóvar, the scene of Lena (Penelope Cruz) and makeup recovering after vomiting, the scene of the protagonist blind man who puts his hands on the TV screen to "feel" the picture that the woman he loves kisses and the scene on the beach recently blind led by a child between comets and the sea.
during the Almodóvar film development as always flirting with other arts, there are wonderful paintings, exquisite costumes, a soundtrack spectacular and highly aesthetic management of the recording of the sex scenes.
forgive for all that the "Gringotization" Marilyn wig, posters to Andy Warhol, the kissing scene on the beach and Apple computers.
rediscover the usual Almodovar in the final edition of "Girls and Cases ", the Almodóvar of" Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown ", from" Tie Me Up "and so much red black comedy and outrageous comedy.
Penelope Cruz, is worth seeing the film, is superb.
