Somehow lacks the charm of Almodóvar's other films. I felt the story took quite a while to get there. It's not as funny, but there is enough melodrama. So in a way, it's not a comedy, nor a drama, nor a thriller. It is definitely very sexy, but there is not much else to the main story. I felt Maura's subplot was far more interesting, and more could have been done with her story. Overall, good, but not great.

Beautiful film. It had that experimental side that all youths do share whilst the youngster self is king. I like it how he did experiment with his medium, whilst being innovative, marketable and a über-author at that. I'm glad my sunny peninsula has such a living genius that is known abroad. Other than Europa. That even "the academy" can and does respect to the point of awarding such a prize as...great film!

When we think Almodovar we think "Women on the Verge" and never seem to go beyond that point. This film is a great piece of noir cinema that takes you for a ride with a pleasant little trip into the darker side of Almodovar and his young star Antonio Banderas and Almodovar's muse of his early days Carmen Maura.
