Pedro Almodovar returns to the fray with a story full of passion, sweetheart, hatreds, resentments and secrets.
It does so with style and common seal. Put in a remarkable technical team, a music well represented, and a cast quite significant in reference to his work.
In Broken Embraces, the magnet is indisputable Penelope Cruz, an actress as beautiful as only known photograph Almodóvar (and the director of a film called Women on Top , I did not even bother to find out who he is.) Pe But this creature does not exceed that devoted to the cinema in back, although their role is attractive and challenging for any good actress who prides himself on choosing interesting roles.
Beside him is a partner of Lluis Homar more than correct, and it focuses the axis of this plot, at times too melodramatic and contrived.
There are several loose ends, and stories that do not add up (such as Tamar Novas), but also moments of remarkable weather Almodóvar, sequences, breathing good cinema, and sharp dialogue and brilliant, worthy of his pen.
Taken together, the two hours and minutes, are extreme. Manchego has said that this was its longest and most ambitious film, and I think that will not play at all in his favor. However, the first ten minutes seduce anyone. Almodovar tells the world from the start of the protagonist, with virtuoso drawings and tempos perfectly calibrated. Although not correspond to the final minutes, full of explanations and precise closure to each of the nodes developed. Venture to which he is uncomfortable with that resolution, and therefore, the other end of the film, that which identifies with Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown , is presented as a good snap for his new story love and passion.
