Movie Review by B Movie Ben

September 11th, 2007

Love is the saddest thing when it goes away

Almodovar has written and directed another brilliant film that shows us how the human need for love can inspire strange, and even obsessive, responses in those who are unable to receive the love. This film is about man's love for women, and has influences in Spanish, German, and Brazilian art forms.

Some of the movie is spent on bullfighting, as one of the main characters is a female bullfighter. The showing of her dressing is impressive. The actions in the ring are both beautiful and tragic.

But, the film is mostly about two men who love two women who tragically end up in comas. There are tragic endings in two cases, but promise in the others. It is a story of love and is very touching, even if some parts are distasteful.

This film has just about the weirdest scene I have ever witnessed when there is a movie within the movie that becomes part of the movie, and a man shrinks to about three inches tall and moves into his lover's vagina while she is sleeping. You have to see the film just to see this. Weird.

The film is just wonderful. I am getting so attached to Almodovar.
