Broken Embraces (2009)
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0913425/]
The Gist:
I don't quite get the reception of this film, because I honestly think that this is one of Almodovar's more interesting entries. Instead, critics seem to be a bit hum drum about its release, saying rather that isn't his "finest work". Why is every film an autuer puts out instantly held to the best of their work (see also: Shutter Island)? It's just stupid, just newspaper men needing a way to critically dog a good film. Is the film as good as All About My Mother or Talk to Her? Probably not. And sure, he's not delving much into the fringe sexuality that we're used to seeing him push. However, what the film does is take a simple approach to the process of an artist and their muse. The whole film feels very personal, and I personally loved it.
