one of the first things i wanted to do upon my arrival in espana,
was to see the new almodovar film, Los Abrazos Rotos.
i attended a late afternoon show with muchas abuelitas. i laughed out loud.
its always me and the old ladies, thats cool though, i dig their style.
penelope was great, as usual and she looks stunning in this picture.
but to be totally honest, i was un poco underwhelmed. its charms,
and there are many, lies in the similarity to his earlier films (say mid to late 80s)
and you must see Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988 or 89, i think)
to fully appreciate and understand Los Abrazos Rotos.
i don't want to reveal too much but when its stateside and worldwide, we will return to
this discussion. i plan to view it again with subtitles just in case i missed a few things.
nonetheless, viva pedro!
(ps, see Matador if you have not yet, its gonna blow your eyes open!)
