The smell of the double moral! Pedro Almodovar persuades us once more his never ending creative powers with this powerful and brutal story which links and determines so many destinies sealed by the hypocrisy, the rotten ethics and the abominable instincts behind the power's helmet. But the film is besides a real master class about edition process. A magnificent script solidly with three levels of narration. The plot demands from you an absolute attention. The light effects are by themselves another tour de force component. You may realize the presence of certain illumination who reminds us to Caravaggio to emphasize for instance the morbidity, the nasty blame, the loss of the self esteem, the sad farewell to the dreams of youth and the unavoidable decadent pedophile pestilence. In the other hand the rhythmic pulse never lets you. The overlapping and intersected dramatic lines amazes us due their astonishing fluidity and natural cohesion. There is not a simple shot out of context. This surprising and tragic puzzle breathes as real tide: a synchronized concatenation of sequences will lead us from the facts to the feelings and never vice versa. This brilliant director has left behind himself all the frivolities and bitter ironies which characterized his first stage. He has known to descend to Dante's hell through the description of sordid and unthinkable situations, reminding us once more that ancient statement: The reality overpasses the fiction. One of the best films ever made in any age and consider it from its initial release an instantaneous classic.
