Weekly Volcano's Review

Roger Ebert on January 11th, 2010

Favorite This Like this Movie? You can Favorite it on your Profile.

Almodovar's passionate new film.  A blind man (Lluis Homar), once a director, now a writer, learns the producer of his final film has died.  He still hates this man.  Flashbacks reveal the history of their relationship, and the woman (Penelope Cruz) between them.  In the present, the dead man's son enlists him in a project to gain vengeance on his father, and old secrets are discovered.  A voluptuary of a film, drunk on primary colors, caressing Penelope Cruz, using the devices of a Hitchcock to distract us with surfaces while the sinister uncoils beneath. - Three stars
