If I hadn't re-created movies with similar themes, and if I hadn't watched the big screen, would I love this movie so much? However, I really like the direction of the film that directly points to human nature and human existence.
Suspense and repeated use. It supports the film and drives the rhythm of the audience.
The clever combination of time and space: When the heroine is playing on the movie screen in the movie, there is a counterpoint on the movie screen, and the due effect is played extremely well.
Strong relationship between characters: This strong relationship between characters deepens the theme and enhances the suspenseful atmosphere of the film.
Benchmark grasp of play rhythm.

Broken Embraces quotes

  • [first lines]

    [in Spanish, quoting English subtitles]

    Modelo: What's your name?

    Mateo Blanco: Harry Caine.

    [voiceover]

    Mateo Blanco: I used to be called Mateo and I was a film director. I was always tempted by the idea of being someone else, as well as myself. Living one's life wasn't enough, so I invented a pseudonym, Harry Caine, an adventurer who, as fate would have it, became a writer. I had him sign all the scripts and stories I wrote. For years, Mateo Blanco and Harry Caine shared the same body, mine. But a moment came when suddenly I could only be Harry Caine. I became my pseudonym. A self-made writer made by himself. There was just one unforseen detail. Harry Caine would be a blind writer.

    [in Spanish, quoting English subtitles]

    Ray X: That's what we've got re-edited.

    Mateo Blanco: Do you think it's worth carrying on, or is it crazy?

    Diego: What? I pissed myself laughing. I'm dying to see what happens.

    Judit García: It's wonderful, Mateo!

    Diego: It's hilarious. You have to re-release it.

    Mateo Blanco: No, what matters is to finish it. Films have to be finished, even if you do it blindly.
