Hi to everybody...got into the Aldomovar film 'Live Flesh' and within a few minutes realised we had seen it before but so long ago we'd both forgotten the story...watched again, and it was very good. I think we've seen all of Aldomovar's films that have been shown over here now. I can highly recommend him to anybody who enjoys brilliantly acted and beautifully directed Spanish films...It actually turned out to be taken from a Ruth Rendell novel! That did come as a surprise...had completely missed that before...LOL...Usually his films are more quirky and the characters more complex, but this was still an excellent study of jealousy, intrigue and passion...
So, that's it for tonight...I'm recording a film called 'Nemesis' now...have absolutely no idea whether it's going to be worth watching, but it's a sci-fi film set in 2027 and an 18 so obviously has blood and guts in it...about a policemen chasing cyborgs...hmmm...not sure it's big budget but we'll see...![]()
Hope you've had a good evening...will have a good weekend, and have a restful night, sweet dreams and great big hugs to one and all...

Agreed, Almodovar is a fine film-maker. I have this and a handful of others here on DVD.

I haven't seen that one, but I have seen quite a lot of his films. I tend to like them a lot. Very colourful, a bit quirky and with generally unpredictable stories. I'll have to see Live Flesh now!
Cheers, Tom.-

It's definitely one of his more restrained ones, but his group of actors is in it, all of who are excellent actors...small part for Penelope Cruz as well...must have been one of her very first parts with him...after that he used her a great deal...I think she's a wonderful actress...big hugs...

I think Penelope Cruz is great too. She always seems to give it her all and is never anything other than believable.

I think she's one of the best actresses around and still does films in Spain with Aldomovar, thank goodness...Volver saw her in one of her best I think...just amazing...big hugs...XX

I saw Volver last year, and really liked it. It combines humour and seriousness well.
