      The hot wind breaking into the monastery

      The synopsis should read: Nightclub singer Yolanda accidentally lets her boyfriend die from a heroin overdose. To avoid charges, she fled to a monastery.

      Dark Habits (Entre Tinieblas)


      The following was written in January 2006.

      It seems that the Chinese translation is from the English translation of dark habits. I think the English translation is very good for the understanding of the film, which is better than the literal translation of the original Spanish name Entre Tinieblas (dark habits). between) much better. The following text also revolves around "habits".

      This has to be the most depressing Almodovar...

      nuns are crazy

      This early work of Almodóvar made me drowsy, paused several times, got up and stretched my muscles a bit before I had the energy to finish the film.
      All I can say is that Almodovar did not care about the feelings of the audience during the filming of this film, and at least he didn't tell the story clearly. Maybe I didn't understand it well. his personal style.
      On the other hand, in his middle and late works, the stories are all very dramatic and moving.

      subverted world

      My introduction may be a bit wordy, but after watching this movie for the first time, I realized that some things can be subverted by some people.
      "In the Darkness" tells the story of a punk singer Yolanda in love The story of terrified fleeing to a Catholic group of nuns after being questioned by police after she died from a drug overdose. This group of nuns that sheltered Yolanda was founded by a wealthy lady, and it was named "HUMBLEREDEEMERS", which specially accommodated and helped...

      Grey Almodovar - "Entre tinieblas"

      Text / A retrospective of Smart

               Almodóvar's early films is showing in the spotlight. I picked "Entre tinieblas", which is translated in Chinese as "Nuns Are Hard at Night". I was misled by the Chinese title and thought it would be a hot romance of nuns. After checking the translation, I found out that the original Spanish meaning is "between light and dark" , it's no wonder that you, the video creator, dismantled the color of the film with a sharp eye. You said "it's...

      Three and a half stars, but very high style. It's hard to find such a serious melodrama director. "You are the light of the world. A city is built on a mountain, and it cannot be hidden. When a man lights a lamp, he does not put it under the bucket, but on the lampstand, and it illuminates the family." The movie is a habit in the dark, but it exposes in broad daylight. There is a background behind each line in this film. The narrative capacity is actually very large, but the filming is...

      Watch the 100-minute version. it's wired. The subtitles are not good either. The plot is very subversive, but it is basically a story of women helping each other and taking advantage of each other. The nun is so cool, it is a social version, and the main line is the love line, and the supporting characters are also wonderful. Could be a "fable". Samsung and a...

      After finishing the last unwatched movie of Almodovar, because the subtitles were completely out of sync, the viewing process was a disaster, and a lot of dialogue was incomprehensible. Twilight has a very strong taste. The nuns in the monastery smoke heroin, raise tigers, write erotic novels, and engage in...

      This one is rather boring....

      The Spanish version of nuns is also crazy. We take drugs, read pornography, and raise tigers, but it does not delay us in saving marginalized...

    Almodóvar's early farce gave Catholicism a serious sarcasm. The film has traces of DePalma's early years, and the song handling is quite funny, but most of the jokes are a bit contrived, not as sharp as the director's later works.
    These nuns sell drugs, fall in love, quarrel, sing, etc., and have their own desires to help women in need in their own unique ways, which are different from traditional religious methods. The image of the...
