[Carne trémula]
Director |
This is billed as a thriller and certainly suggests elements of the genre, but it’s mostly expectation-building and smart, satisfying anticlimax. That’s what I like most about this film, which is really a well-constructed drama about the intersections in five characters’ lives and what each is and isn’t capable in terms of love, betrayal, self-preservation, and inflicting harm. Neatly executed and resolved — a quietly impressive film. (And how often can one say that about Almodóvar?)
(Also, I like that he is an equal-opportunity flesh fetishizer. :)) |
