im still speechless after watching this movie :stunned: ... i knew about

Pedro Almodóvar`s brilliance esp after watching "All about my mother"..but this is just another work of art... it blew me totally away..i mean...no movie has ever touched me as much me as this .....

 

 

 

".....it was clearly a masterpiece, masterworks from a master of the craft. The lushness, the richness of the film in color--and black-and-white--lent the film to a fine authenticity which is so badly lacking in many films today. It was as if he redefined the buddy flick genre, taking it somewhere completely different and in an elevated greater direction. Two men, one a nurse, the other a writer, meet up first in a theater during a ballet recital sitting next to each other, only to meet later in a hospital where women they each care deeply about are each in comas fighting for their respective lives. The way Almodovar set this up was a great hand-tipper as to what would be in this one.

 

If I may digress, it was not so much the women being downplayed--they NEVER are in the Almodovar films I have seen--but rather as it is the volume being turned up LOUDLY on the men here. It is male bonding from a different perspective, as the two women they love--one a ballerina with an angelic face, the other a bullfighter with a handsomely androgynous profile framing her female beauty--bring them together unexpectedly. But when they do come together, it is, in itself, a thing of beauty--as the rest of the film itself is.

 

I even enjoyed the B&W silent film in the midst which was very much in keeping of Almodovar's excellence. And the meshing of many art forms--dance, bullfighting, film, writing, photography, music--all draw you in with a presence which has you not only caring about the characters, but also having them stay with you long after the film ends....."

i absolutely love this movie!! i saw it three times at the cinema...and i bought the dvd the day it came out. its fantastic....made me completely speechless. everyone needs to watch it, so go rent it. its one of the most original and emotional movies i have ever seen. ---enid

I haven't seen it, but I saw "Mujeres al ataque de nervios" ...something like that. That was really funny. I haven't seen any other Almodovar films though...not sure if I'd like his other films...
