She's beautiful

and incredibly talented as she shows in La flor de mi secreto.

By the way, I see rocks everywhere...

Trembling flesh

Watching Carne Trémula, it's somehow noticeable that the script is not original. It has almodovarian touches but deep down and in episodic characters. What I enjoyed most about the movie are three female (Almodóvar and the actresses) characters. Those portrayed by Penélope Cruz, Ángela Molina and Mariola Fuentes (¿a ti no te gustan los fruitis?). The rest of the cast is less "eye-popping".

Women, girls, suitcases and nervous breakdowns...

Oh no, he didn't!

Scatology, incest, three-ways, transvestites, drugs, rape, cosmetic surgery, pedophilia... Basically every taboo is shown and mocked of in Laberinto de Pasiones. By Almodóvar (who else?) in 1982.
The movie is possibly one of the less good (I can't use the word worse referring to Pedro) films of the Spanish director but it shows his fearless spirit. And it is so bold it's a lot of fun.

Los Abrazos Rotos

Deivith Coast has something to say about Los Abrazos Rotos

I agree completely with him though I'd say more nice things about Pé. She's great. As Lluís, as Blanca, as Jose Luis, as Rubén, as Tamar, as Lola (ese melón... mejor no abrirlo), as Carmen, as Ángela, as Chus, as Rossy, as Mariola, as Asier (?)...

Perfect movie.

What Have I Done...

... to deserve not having watched this movie for so long?

Hilarious!!!!

Hug me!

Great poster I found for Los abrazos rotos.

Can't wait!!

Almodóvar nights

To know all about my mother, talk to her.

Deivith Coast has spent some nights with the Spanish director, and yet he's never appeared in one of his movies. It's a shame! Mr. Pedro is just missing pure talent.

Thanks Deivith. Can´t wait for our broken embrace.
