Bunny and the Bull

Recluse Stephen, who hasn't left his apartment in a year, relives a road trip through Europe he took with his friend Bunny a while back.

And it is just plain weird.

Los abrazos rotos (Broken Embraces)

I don't claim to be Pedro Almodóvar's biggest fan. Some of his films don't work for me at all (Mujeres al borde du un ataque de nervios springs to mind), some leave me with a Meh! feeling (La mala educácion for one), but then there are a few that I embrace wholeheartedly - and Los abrazos rotos is one of them.

Granted, it is not as good as Todo sobre me madre (my favorite Almodóvar) and not as fascinating (in a shocking way) as La piel que habito, but it is a tragic love story, beautifully acted by Penélope Cruz and Lluís Homar and shot in splendid colors.

Works for me.
