If you’ve never heard of writer and director Pedro Almodóvar you’re probably not an art-house movie fan. The Spaniard is responsible for movies like Volver and Todo Sobre Mi Madre, which both happen to star Penélope Cruz. This is no mistake; Almodóvar has claimed that Cruz is indeed his muse and the reason he can create such intense stories on screen.Here she stars again in her fourth film written and directed by the talented moviemaker. Watching Cruz create a character in her native tongue once again, it is quite clear that Almodóvar is not the only one benefitting from the relationship. He manages to elicit striking performances from the petite beauty. I won’t even begin to explain the plot as it’s far too intricate and quite frankly will ruin the experience for you. All I can say is that Almodóvar and Cruz have done it again.
Rating: 4 outta 5.
