The world at my feet

I like Almodóvar, I’ve seen all his films. I suggest you to get his two first movies: “Pepi, Luci, Bom and Other Girls on the Heap” and “Labyrinth of Passion”. They are two mad, outrageous, entertaining cult movies that fully express the free spirit of La Movida Madrileňa (The Madrid Movement), the sociocultural movement that took place in Madrid after the death of Francisco Franco. In the last two decades, he has had a very enviable career. Currently, he is working on a new film, “Broken Embrace”, that has a typical Almodóvar plot: a plastic surgeon seeks revenge against his daughter’s rapist. The shooting will start in May and the protagonists will be his muse Penelope Cruz, Lluis Olmar, Blanca Portillo and Jose Luis Gomez. Meantime, the fans can already follow the first phases of it on his blog (in Spanish, English and French), that contains pictures, videos and snippets of Almodovar’s world. It’s not a new thing, blogs are popular with many directors by now, but good Pedro’s movies are always a guarantee. Then, it doesn’t seem the posts are written by a ghost writer. It is not a trifling matter.
