Review of Broken Embraces (2009) by Rebecca W — 18 Feb 2010

Pedro Almodovar and Penelope are perferct combination. This time Almodovar has portraited Penelope as an irresistable charming lady who really wants to be a super star. She looks pretty much like Audrey Hepburn and she really played well. Penelope is the type of lady who will draw all your attention to her. The one who plays as the role as her master is also very good and especially in expressing those anger and jealousy.

Overall this story is quite simple and the casting is pretty well fit for everyone. The reason why I stil like Almodovar is the close shots he always use coz it seems you can understand each and every single character through their special facial expression and eye sight.
