“Curious, seeing this after the smash hits of u0026quot;Todo Sobre Mi Madreu0026quot; and u0026quot;Hable con Ellau0026quot;, because this movie sort of prepared the viewers to what was coming. Grabbing a solid and original story, Pedro Almodovar creates a movie that revolves around a strange set of characters, and on the process gives an excellent essay on the effect time has on peopleu0026#39;s lives. All the actors are top notch, specially the commanding Javier Bardem, who would later become an Oscar nominee with u0026quot;Before Night Fallsu0026quot;. Great music, cinematography and direction give this movie an even more satisfying look, and make this a well-achieved movie that ends up being the first part of an unofficial trilogy of Almodovaru0026#39;s best works.”
