What is life. Many years ago, some four or five at least, I wanted to see all Almodovar films, to go by saying there, and also knowingly, which is much better, it was a great filmmaker. Of course, I saw this movie, but I should like so much, as both this and Kika were described as "the least I'd have liked." Years later, I return to give them a second chance. A Kika I gave recently, in fact, commented on this, your blog, and my opinion changed completely. I thought that with Átame could not happen again, but fortunately I was wrong. My opinion about Átame also improved.
Again, what get us back an Almodovar film are quirky characters. In this story, the characters are a porn actress who first starred in a serious movie and a madman who has just left the asylum and is obsessed with the actress. The leading roles are played by Victoria Abril showing pussy and Antonio Banderas in the role of a madman, which is what surprised me most. I never thought that this actor could really make me grace, and here he succeeds.
But not only this film live actors. As in any good film of Almodovar, the range of a luxury side, highlighting, among them the role of Loles Leon as the kidnapped sister, with musical numbers and everything. I would also like to pay special tribute to one of my favorite English actors, Paco Rabal, who in this film plays the director of the film is being shot.
A romantic comedy, the end of the day, but without any of the topics to which we Americans have used: instead of there blows kisses, instead of rings, ropes and instead of flowers, drugs . Almodóvar proves again after his great success Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown who can make you laugh and has a peculiar but delicious way to provoke laughter. By the way, I've always been a strong advocate of similarities between Tarantino's films and Almodóvar. I think the two make the same film, except that each one within its cultural context, and this movie gives me an argument in my favor with its soundtrack, composed by Ennio Morricone.
A film must for all lovers of English cinema and manchego humor, so fashionable today. For my part, a piece of film chalice that from now I'll have more in mind. I think I will have to see me all Almodovar films, because those two titles I qualified as a "worst" of the director now have become two titles to consider.
