Volver

So I finally got my butt to theater to see Almodovar’s latest Volver…


and I must say..a little overrated. Best screenplay at Cannes? what? If anything, the screenplay was the weakest thing about the film. Disjointed and unnecessary twists. All the actors are great but their direction seemed off because of their strange reactions to tragedy.

Looks like all other Almodovar films…at least since High Heels. Colorful, widescreen…overlit. But hey..the overlighting is part of its charm.

Penelope has a post nasal drip problem, btw. Wait for DVD.
