Title: Almodovar's latest love story
Review: There has not been a film made by the Spanish director Pedro Almodovar that I have not seen yet. His latest film "Broken Embraces" has beautiful Penelope Cruz in a lead female role that she carries on well as always. Although the story is unique, it definitely is a typical Almodovar movie in which he employs many of his ideas from the previous films. Homosexuality, obsessive love, revenge and femme fatale are themes his fans will recognise quickly throughout the film.This is a story of two people who loved each other deeply and sincerely. Power, money and possesiveness got in a way of them being together and like most doomed relationships, this one was not to last. The mere impossibility of such love to exist makes this story so lovely and touching.Must see movie, regardless if this is the first film by this director you have ever seen, or one out of many.
