Almodovar is back with his seventeenth film, 'Broken Embraces', a thriller that flips between the 1990s and present day. It is intricate, dark, tragic and yet somewhat optimistic and it has many familiar faces for the audience: Almodovar's usual cast are together again. It’s certainly Almodóvar’s most inward-looking film, apparently it was concocted from the migraines that have started to afflict Almodovar in recent years (Timeout). I would even watch it just to look at Penelope Cruz. She is perhaps more stunning than ever before as she takes on a plethora of different identities in the film.‘Broken Embraces’ is indeed a film where joy comes lurching out of the darkness to steel you, lift you, to make you realise that no matter how bad things get, there’s always something to enjoy. There’s always cinema (Timeout).
Broken Embraces will be in cinemas on the 28th of August
