~ Writer/director
Pedro Almodóvar's dark, sexy
Hitchcock homage is his best work since his Oscar-winning
All About My Mother,
and deepened by a sun-dappled sadness. Handsome, enigmatic Ángel (Gael
García Bernal) arrives at the Spanish movie offices of director Enrique Goded (Fele
Martinez) and happily proclaims that he's actually Enrique's long-lost school
chum Ignacio--an announcement that is both less than convincing and more than it
seems. A novice actor, Ángel pitches a semi-autobiographical screenplay in which
he's determined to star, a revenge-laden reflection of the doomed love he and
Enrique shared as boys before a pedophile priest cruelly intervened. The script,
and the lost days it recalls, carefully unfurls into a series of brooding
movies-within-movies and memories-inside-memories, which allow the sensual,
multiple-role-playing
Bernal to give the performance of his young career--among
other things, he makes a stunningly convincing drag queen--and Almodóvar the
opportunity to movingly suggest that people will pay any price to ensure that
their stories are told. |
