Movie reviews that made it seem important to see something by the director, Almovodar.
Compelling performances (what is it about Penelope Cruz?) and it has a fun, three-ring circus feel to it. The narrative pulse isn’t very steady or urgent. And where does exploration of controversial, body-oriented material end and sensationalistic exploitation of such material begin? It’s hard to tell in this movie and maybe that’s part of it’s achievement? Note: maybe the material was too complex for me to take in at first viewing.
