    An interesting case study in the relationships between women, both the biological kind and the transsexual kind. Almodovar's rich use of colour is gorgeous and reminiscent of an early 60s movie. Victoria Abril and Marisa Paredes are both wonderfully manipulative, cold, and vulner...( read more)able by turns.

    ohhh... no comment, incredible passionate crime story, with ironic, with passion, with desires, with love, with pain... & with great songs

    Rule of thumb for mothers: Don't screw your daughter's lover. That tends to make Thanksgiving/Christmas a WEE bit awkward.

    A very excentric drama by Spanish master Pedro Almodovar. Spellbinding female performances by both Marisa Paredes and (especially) Victoria Abril. It was good overall; a little bit dramatic and over-the-top, but OK. Perhaps the second best choice to begin with Almodovar.

    57/100
