An average movie

Posted : 8 years, 5 months ago on 9 October 2015 07:32

By now, I have seen about 10 movies directed by Pedro Almodovar and I have to conclude that, even though I have a lot of respect for his work, I'm a huge fan though, especially concerning his early work. This movie is a perfect example. It is his oldest movie that I have seen so far and I have still have to watch his older movies from the 80's. Anyway, it is probably not one of his most famous productions but I thought it was a decent watch though. Back in those days, he was still working with Antonio Banderas before the guy became a star in Hollywood and you even had Manuela Velasco, the lead character in the [Rec] franchise, who was just a little girl at the time. Basically, you get here the usual trademarks in Almodovar's work with some rather hysterical characters (especially the women) and all the characters (male and female) involved in some doomed and convoluted romances. Maybe I was just too young when I watched it, maybe I should give it a second chance but, to be honest, I had a rather hard time to care about those characters and what they were going through. Anyway, to conclude, even though it didn't really blow me away, it was still a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Almodovar's work.ย
