This film is the 17th film of the famous Spanish director Pedro Almodovar. This time he aimed the camera at the film industry he loved. The film tells a story about love and revenge. There are many big actors, beautiful scenery, and a soundtrack that fits the scene, but the story is a little dragged. After Penelope Cruz's heroine Lena Rivoro died, The plot is no longer very attractive. All the mysteries that seem to be revealed are actually expected. The scene in the play is not bad, but I have already appreciated such a wonderful contrast in the first half. . .
Nelope Cruz is really an absolute stunner, her facial features and body are so beautiful, and the beauty in the title is compared with her, and she immediately became a vulgar fan. . .
The old man and Lena are in a relationship of support, and he doesn't think that the director and Lena have any real relationship, maybe it's just a moment of loneliness and lust. . .

    The beauty is in trouble, she roams in pieces; the beauty is poor, she loves to hate and kisses her goodbye after all. Almodovar's signature red this time is not passion, affection and casualness, but builds pain on desire and repents for a lifetime. Because of the incompleteness, because of the brokenness, because of losing her forever, so he will always remember this woman. This is just the standard work of the old man.

    Almodovar loyalist. There's a director who knows women better than women, he's good at telling stories, and he likes bright hues.

Broken Embraces quotes

  • Diego: When you were waiting at the roundabout, for a car to pass on your left, Lena and you kissed.

    Mateo Blanco: We kissed? I don't remember that.

    Diego: It's a normal kiss, the kind couples give each other out of habit.

    Mateo Blanco: The last kiss.

    Diego: Yes. Lena didn't die in your arms, like you'd dreamed, but the last sensation she took from this world was your mouth.

  • [first lines]

    [in Spanish, quoting English subtitles]

    Modelo: What's your name?

    Mateo Blanco: Harry Caine.

    [voiceover]

    Mateo Blanco: I used to be called Mateo and I was a film director. I was always tempted by the idea of being someone else, as well as myself. Living one's life wasn't enough, so I invented a pseudonym, Harry Caine, an adventurer who, as fate would have it, became a writer. I had him sign all the scripts and stories I wrote. For years, Mateo Blanco and Harry Caine shared the same body, mine. But a moment came when suddenly I could only be Harry Caine. I became my pseudonym. A self-made writer made by himself. There was just one unforseen detail. Harry Caine would be a blind writer.
