Pedro Almodovar Spain 2009 Certificate 15
This doesn't begin to encompass even half of the twists and turns in Almodóvar's labyrinthine story, which seems to plough into major emotional signposts - Betrayal! Grief! Revenge! - like a drunk driver nailing traffic cones. It's meaty, heady stuff, which, constantly probing the duality of filmmaking and behind-the-scenes shooting, turns into less a hall of mirrors than one giant mirror-ball, dazzling, reflecting and fragmenting Almodóvar's usual flamboyant predilections Almodóvar through the looking glass: smart, sexy, solipsistic and yet still effortlessly enjoyable. |
