5 DAYS. That’s all.
maybe i’m at the point where i will think this about ever almodovar film, but if i fell in love with him over volver, and i am now starting to think that was his worst film, he clearly can do no wrong. broken embraces dragged out a bit, but everything had its point, so i didn’t mind. as with any almodovar film, it is the best soap opera you will ever see and i just sat there struck by everything from the plot and fantastic acting down to the meticulous placement of every item in each respective shot. and it has penelope cruz in it (though i’m starting to realize almodovar might be the only reason i am head over heels for her *vanilla sky was awful*)
Every Almodovar film should be a failure, they’re campy and melodramatic and predictable and incredibly gay, and yet my Pedro (I’m allowed to call him that being Spanish and all…) somehow always manages to make his stories palpable and affecting. Broken Embraces wasn’t my favorite, and I’m waiting for him to make another “Talk to Her,” but it’s unlike most movies I’ve seen this year, and it’s that aesthetic that he continues to return to that I fell in love with at 15 and continue to adore.
I fell and bit my tongue. And I don’t mean “chewing excitedly, ouch!” little tongue bite. I mean a “thank fuck I’m not inbred and have hemophilia otherwise I’d have died” kind of bite.
Now when I talk I sound a little downsy. “Hewwow ewibowdy, Ah bit maw tongwwe.”
The end.
Finished wrapping a gift for my mom. It’s a set of earrings from German jewelry designer Günter Wermekes. Hope she likes!
You are a better man than I will ever be. h8 u.
