Weds, Mar 30th, 13:30 – a Screen Gems screening
Almodovar brings out the best in his muse, Penelope Cruz, in this multi-layered story of the power of a mother’s love. This magical tragicomic melodrama may be Almodovar’s most restrained work to date but it still features his trademarks: a strong attention to color and detail, a celebration of the trials and tribulations of women, and, of course, the inestimable Carmen Maura. The lovely Penelope Cruz hasn’t shone more brightly as she does here.
Join us afterwards for good company and guided discussion of the film.
