recognized a prop that i own (retro magnetic cooking timer) and felt extremely cool. foaming at the mouth at literally every piece of furniture and article of clothing in this movie
All I desire in life is to inhabit an abode as flawlessly furnished and deliciously decorated as that of Pedro Almodóvar’s leading ladies
reckon i would actually get on quite well with pedro almodóvar as i too love women, colours and drama 👍
Almodóvar doesn’t entirely bring back his signature style but instead creates a modern, twisted look on relationships and family while hinting at what he understands best: creativity. He digs at political views in Spain while instantly bringing the audience into these characters' lives and states of mind in order to brighten up certain explorations of adulthood.
Penélope Cruz is an absolute treasure and deserves to continue on with more films like this. Her combination of vehemence and amiability brings an unaltered and unique charisma to the screen that is both distinct and familiar. While her beauty graces the screen, it’s her depth that transcends it.
