Pedro Almodovar, Director
2006 | 121 min
Best Actress Oscar® nominee Penelope Cruz stars in a playful and wise melodrama about female endurance from Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar. Earthy Raimunda (Cruz) and her eccentric extended family - which includes a sister (Lola Duenas) and their mother's ghost (Carmen Maura) - are no strangers to profound misfortune. Yet whatever the fates bring down - and quite often it's torrential - Almodovar's women struggle to survive with humor, spirited courage and elan. "Full of surprises and reversals ... the work of a master" - New York Times.
