“Visually, the pic is an exquisite treat…the witty, pointed dialogue is among Almodovar’s best.” –VARIETY

CLOSING NIGHT

Broken Embraces / Los abrazos rotos
Pedro Almodóvar, 2009, Spain, 128m

Moving from Madrid sound stages to the volcanic landscapes of the Canary Islands, the incomparable Pedro Almodóvar takes us on an emotional roller coaster that barrels from comedy to romance to melodrama to the darker haunts of film noir. A blind screenwriter learns of the death of a powerful industrialist, triggering a flood of memories that encompass a tale of naked ambition, forbidden love and devastating loss. Penelope Cruz, the screenwriter’s muse (and Almodóvar’s), has never been better, nor more ravishing, and she’s ably aided by Lluis Homar (Bad Education), Blanca Portillo (Volver), and a wonderful newcomer to the Almodóvar stable, Rubén Ochandiano. The luscious cinematography is by Rodrigo Prieto (Amores Perros, Brokeback Mountain). A Sony Pictures Classics release.
