This movie certainly represents progresses in many of the most interesting aspects of Almodóvar's earlier works, the radical subjectivity of feelings, emotions and the exaggeration of strange mix of melodrama and comedy. Misunderstandings and confusion, as well as situations of vaudeville make the movie look like a comic farce, but firm touch of Almodovar's gift to make things different, with its... read more

"Grieved, vindictive, scared, insecure and domineeering - women of all kinds get mixed up in a comedy of errors. One of Almodovar's first successes, it remains his seminal work. "

"Kirjasto-DVD Alkutekstit ovat hienot. Sitten käy kaikkea eriskummallista. Näyttelijätär paimentaa kanoja parvekkeellaan ja sytyttää vahingossa camelilla sänkynsä tuleen, toinen (Picasson maalaukselta näyttävä) nainen juo lepopillereillä täytettyä tomaattimehua ja menettää unimaailmassa neitsyytensä. Puhelimia ja muuta elektroniikkaa lentelee ikkunoista vähän väliä ja ympäri kaupunkia ajelee surrealistinen elämystaksi, joka tarjoaa matkustajilleen kaikkea savukkeista (lopu"
