Almodóvar Gets Duplicitous With 'Broken Embraces'new
Broken Embraces is a strange little suspense film. It contains only a few strategic betrayals and outright deceptions, but a great many unspoken secrets and many lies of omission. Maybe it's too mature for the good old double-cross, but it is certainly not too subtle to include a few revelations and theatrical set pieces.

Penelope Cruz on Almodovar and 'Broken Embraces'new
“The first time I worked with him, I was a whore giving birth in a bus. Then, a nun that gets pregnant from a transvestite. Every time I have my moment of ‘Really, isn’t this going to be too much? How are we going to make this believable?’ And then, he does it. Every single time.”

Women's Worknew
The opening shots of Almodovar's lyrical, emotionally lush Volver feature a band of women, young and old, vigorously scrubbing down the tombs of their provincial town's menfolk.

Fortunate Sonnew
This film directed by the son of Michael Eisner is a stunning piece of work -- stunningly inept, stunningly incoherent, stunningly awful in every way imaginable.
