Title: Disappointing
Product review: I find Almodovar's work to be patchy at best: while his "All About My Mother," "High Heels," and "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" deserve the attention they receive, recent efforts such as "Talk to Her" and this one have been unsatisfying.Almodovar's film revolves around the suspicious goings-on occuring at a Catholic boys' school. Of course, we have the requisite pedaphile subplot in several scenes, as one of the main characters finds himself gathering the attentions of the head priest. Does anybody else find this situation a little contrived? I mean, can we have a Catholic priest in a film sometime who isn't a pedaphile? Furthermore, I think Almodovar could come up with something a tad more original, without needing to retread the evening news.For a better introduction to Almodovar's genius, watch "High Heels" instead.
