Los abrazos rotos (Broken Embraces)

Really enjoyed this as I do Almodóvar in general. He has this great way of telling engaging, unique stories purely though his fairly normal characters. His muse, Penelope Cruz, is pitch perfect as usual.

These are everyday people in their everyday lives and extraordinary things happen. Sometimes I feel like there are Almodóvar films happening all around us all, all the time.

After watching this I decided that Almodóvar is a version of Woody Allen. A gay, Spanish, Woody Allen.
