I'll forever be grateful to Almodovar for giving her numerous lead actress roles with a dramatic gravitas to them. In Broken Embraces, Penelope Cruz proves she is one of the greatest actresses of all time. Her Spanish language feature films contain breathtaking dramatic performances that captivate me with every second of her sincere and expressive acting. Cruz is drop dead gorgeous with an effortless beauty and natural charm. Penelope Cruz is phenomenal in her followup to Volver alongside Almodovar's direction. His themes of jealousy, revenge, lust, romance, love, death, blindness, and artistry are wonders to behold as he blends numerous lives together like vibrants inks in one cinematic painting. Pedro Almodovar is always finding a formidable role for his female characters as it genuinely feels like he wants to let ladies relate to his suffering ladies as well as find humor in the absurd situations people find themselves in throughout life. Almodovar's visual Spanish feasts are always delicious.Īlmodovar's writing is refreshing with his singularly flamboyant and sympathetic voice that admirably attempts to give an empathetic voice for women. You could learn everything you'd ever need to know about production and set design from watching Broken Embraces alone. The bursting colors of lush reds, warm oranges, bright yellows, and cozy browns blanket Pedro's film version of Madrid with an effervescent atmosphere. Almodovar's direction is as vastly touching and innovative in his strange filmmaking style that is uniquely Pedro. Spanish auteur Pedro Almodovar wrote and directed his romantic melodrama classic Broken Embraces (2009) with as much passion and creativity as his previous masterpiece Volver (2006).
Astonishing layered storytelling with moving acting.
