Viewing Notes
Picked up another recent Almodovar from the library (easier to get on Blu). This comedy is rather slight and just okay. He mentions in an interview in the extras that we wanted to return to comedy after doing the horror thriller The Skin I Live In. Even with a big ensemble cast it’s only mildly amusing and occasionally disturbing following this flight crew deal w/full plane of passengers when there’s a mishap w/the plane.
Thought it was cool having Banderas and Cruz in the cold open that sets things in motion (it’s the only time they appear in the film). Wish we got more of Paz Vega’s character but she’s also essentially a cameo as well. Having only seen a handful of Almodovar’s work this is easily my least favorite. I wouldn’t revisit this one like I would for the others I’ve seen.
