Broken Embraces
Directed by Pedro Almodòvar, 2009
My review of Broken Embraces is online at FilmFreakCentral.net:
The box describes Broken Embraces as an "acclaimed tale of sex, secrets and cinema," which makes me go, "Uh-oh." Pedro Almodóvar reliably delivers heady blends of glamour, melodrama, and emotional turmoil, but such stuff still runs hot and cold from movie to movie. So although I liked his Bad Education, a film that was all about "sex, secrets and cinema," the prospect of Almodóvar returning to the tortured-filmmaker well filled me with trepidation.
Grade: C
