If you haven’t seen it yet, Pedro Almodovar’s latest film, Broken Embraces (aka Los Abrazos Rotos,) starring his muse Penelope Cruz, is still in theaters for a few more days. Penelope plays actress “Lena” in this melodramatic “movie-within-a-movie” only this legendary and eccentric Spanish director could pull off!
A man writes, lives and loves in darkness. Fourteen years before, he was in a brutal car crash on the island of Lanzarote. In the accident, he didnt lose only his sight, he also lost Lena, the love of his life.
“The story of Mateo, Lena, Judit and Ernesto Martel is a story of “amour fou”, dominated by fatality, jealously, the abuse of power, treachery and a guilt complex. A moving and terrible story, the most expressive image of which is the photo of two lovers embracing, torn into a thousand pieces.” – ArcLight Cinema
