Broken Embraces

Pedro Almodóvar's latest tells a characteristically complex story of longing and grief

Pedro Almodóvar's latest tells a characteristically complex story of longing and grief, as recalled by a film director working under a pseudonym years after he mysteriously disappeared from public life. But does he really understand the events that led to his losing both his sight and Lena (Penélope Cruz), the actress who was the love of his life? A reverie on the relationship between reality and the movies, and a funny, touching tribute to cinema's restorative powers, Broken Embraces will surely entrance all fans of Cruz, Almodóvar and good old-fashioned glamour.
