i do not know what it be about almodovar movie that be so arresting and so captivating . maybe it the colour his leading lady always seem to wear red . so many visually stun scene and particularly the one where elena be in bed with victor . no salacious treatment here and just beautiful classy cinematography . the storyline be good and but it the camerawork that be so beautiful . almodovar see beauty and capture it like no one else . his use of colour and black and red and yellow . coincidentally and the colour of the spanish flag or maybe it no conincidence . the opening scene with penelope cruz be superb . i have never see childbirth depict so realistically . be use to a diet of english and american movie and it be so refreshing to see movie that be excite and visually stimulate . minimal violence and but so much humanity and sensuality . this movie be a joy to watch .
