While my enjoyment of this film was lessened somewhat by learning the news about the Zimmerman trial almost immediately after I left, I still say it's a go-see.
It's Almodovar returning to the brew of sex, surrealism, camp, and glamour in the WOMEN ON THE VERGE vein, whipped up to a light-as air-froth (literally!). It's not a major work by any means, but he seems to know that and just wants the audience to have a goofy, escapist time.
He succeeded. Highly recommended to those who wish airline travel was sexy and glamorous!

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali

Having loathed his last film (The Skin I Live in) and not liking at all the one before that (Broken Embraces)..I was just so happy to see him make a happy film that, while lightweight, was still typically Almodovar..
and Hello, Hugo Silva!!

Posted: 7/16/13 at 10:20amI saw this confection two weekends ago. It was a visual delight and a completely absurd, lovely time. I totally want to do mescaline with Spanish stews now.

I'm happy to learn that Pedro's working with Cecilia Roth again. I didn't care much for 'The Skin I Live In' either despite being a huge fan of the Almodovar brothers' work. Every time I watch an episode of 'True Blood' I start imagining what treatment Pedro would give a vampire story on the big screen.
'Habla Con Ella/Talk to Her' is the only movie I've watched that made me shed a tear.
