Once again, Almodóvar proves a graceful stylist and poised provocateur with a streak of sexual daring and potent gifts for melodrama, comedy and pathos. More than that, he is able, like such titans of the medium as Hitchcock and Renoir and Wilder and Scorsese to imprint all manner of material with the unmistakable marks of his craft and his personality. You can always tell an Almodóvar film, whether from a plot description or a few moments of footage or even a still shot. His is the sort of talent which the auteur theory was, justifiably, devised to explain.
this movie was just soo creepy! :O
ReplyDeleteWell, it´s like Almodovar style. I think his movies are so incredible because he had different ideas and for him is so easy to be original ... the plot of his movies are never predictble, don´t you think?? I don´t know if you are American but in Brazil and all over the world people normally whatch hollywood productions..., so the european, muslan and brazilian movies have a special and a singular mark. What kind of movies do you like and where are you from? Thanks for the comment and have a good 2012.
