Movie Reviews of High Heels (Tacones lejanos) [Reg.2]
Movie Review: Lethale
Summary: 5 Stars
I liked this movie and later catching Victoria Abril's Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down felt that Almodovar had made a transition to a more comprehensible narrative to tell softer more complete stories. I thought both of these movies were essentially incredibly sweet despite Tie Me Up being criticized and harshly rated when it first came out. In both movies, there were still shocking elements to choke on but the essential stories were gentler. I liked this mother daughter story and even bought Luz Cassal's album and listened to it over and over because the soundtrack for this movie was such a pleasure. This movie is also a feast of Armani (the mother) and Chanel (the daughter.) I really love the aesthetic of Almodovar's films. How wonderful Spain must be if these colors and this carefree joyful eye for clothes came from there. This movie is generally the least appreciated by critics but this is the movie that was the most watchable to me of Almodovar's movies and which I easily enjoyed. I previously liked Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown which was zany and had beautiful colors but I could never rewatch in its entirety.
