Banderas, who has passed the five-card mark, has become accustomed to showing off his old face in the situation where Spanish actors are absent. However, when he appeared on the stage, I felt an unexpected trance. Twenty years later, he still found the style that was right for his age in Almodovar's movies. When the Ukrainian beauty Elena showed her perfect carcass to the fullest with the camera, the subtle and straightforward beauty after soaking in the Spanish film circle for many years was revealed like a poem. Almodovar's pursuit of beauty is as demanding as ever, and as always, he is able to maximize the charm of the protagonist.
A turbulent but unmarked horror story begins in this calm illusion. There is no tension in the picture, but there are various brightly colored paintings and artworks that greet the eyes, reflecting the cold expression of the hero and the servant. Just like Almodovar's past style, chaos is revealed in the unmatched hot and cold mix. Instantly think of "Everything About My Mother" or "Scent of Life", which creates a thrilling feeling in the extreme incongruity.
Then there is the soundtrack of the film. Childish voices are interspersed in the film to further set off the cruelty and sadness of the story. In the middle, a black female singer's singing is to brew emotions to the peak, and then the mystery is solved bit by bit. It should be said that the soundtrack has greatly reduced the thrill of the film, and it is more like a black and blurred poem.
Can’t help but tell the storyline. I have been thinking about how to recommend this movie without spoiling it. This may not be the most tortuous of Almodovar's films, and it is obviously not the most suspenseful, but it is definitely the most bizarre. Although most of the elements in the plot setting have appeared in previous Almodovar movies, and have even been used many times, there is nothing new in disassembling them, but after the rearrangement and combination, there is a very Unexpected effect. I just want to say that this fat guy has gathered all the most perverted possibilities and successfully climbed to the new peak of the heavy taste of Ah's movie.
Almodovar's almost totem-like love for women continues throughout the film. Men are cruel and ruthless, and take revenge on another man in the most cruel and vicious way because of his sick love and nostalgia for his deceased wife and daughter. The other man's final relief came from the acquaintance of his deceased-with his mother and old girlfriend. Men are the beginning of all misfortunes, but the last hope comes from women. This recognition runs through Almodovar's entire film career, with a strong personal brand. And Almodovar finally put a ridiculous egg near the end of the film-named the heroine in the film after his muse and favorite surname.
In short, if you are an old Almodovar movie fan, you should not be disappointed with this masterpiece, familiar face and refurbished story.
If it is the first time to come into contact with Almodovar movies, you should not be disappointed. There are suspense plots, beautiful male and female protagonists, and melodious soundtrack.
In short, it is an Almodovar that is still in the past, carrying a story of ups and downs, with tricks that have been playing around, and tenaciously interpreting the script full of personal marks to ambilight.
