Almodóvar is a complete throwback to the 80s (except for the complicated narrative). There is a film noir component. It feels like he's trying to fill in the gender reassignment surgery parts (like [All About My Mother], [Bad Education], etc.) that have been missing from previous films on a personal "whole movie" level. The highlight is the continuation of the discussion of "simulacra" in works such as [High Heels]: when Banderas crosses the screen and enters the room, the world is not what he imagined

#DocumentaryPhoto# Although darkly like Boleder's "Flower of Evil", he is still impressed by Almodovar's genius. This is a revenge tragedy that explores transgenderness from an alternative perspective (a man's heart and a woman's body?), and even has a sci-fi color. There are many ways to take revenge. You can be happy with your enemies, or you can twist your heart to torture them a little bit (the highest level of revenge I've seen before is Kim Ki-duk's "Saint"), but it shouldn't be like a male protagonist. Banderas raised tigers like that, turning a man into a woman and then sleeping with him before being shot by the enemy. Until the end, you can't guess the ending of Almodovar's movies, he likes to turn around and poke your little heart again. ps This is also the darkest Banderas I have ever seen. He really has a set of big BTs.
