Broken Embraces

After a long wait, it was finally released. The film was filmed, and the plot was a bit dramatic. The mistress who was fostered and the lover fought hotly, and finally was beaten by the mandarin duck. Compared with "Floating Flowers", "The Mistress's Lover" is less heavy (life and death and women's self-reliance) and more passionate. Of course the inherent sense of humour is still there. In Amu Duhua's films, everything seems to be very indifferent. Penélope Cruz under the mirror of Emduhua is particularly beautiful, she is simply too beautiful to behold, this kind of woman, even a woman will be moved when she sees it.

    I have seen several films of Director Ah, except for everything about my mother, none of them shocked me. But there is one thing in common: after each sad story, there is a very special touch. In the words of a friend: that is the mercy of the master. Nod... I have always had no feelings for Xiao Lu, do I think she is a beautiful beauty who is crying ghosts and gods, she can look at it when she is dressed up, and if it is not good, it is the same thing~ I am moved by this film. On the contrary, it is the male protagonist's economic man, his former lover's current manager, who has cared for him for a lifetime, but never wanted him to know his son's life experience. In another segment, the director said after a heavy passage of the past: I want to hear Jeanne Moreau's voice. Hehe, it seems that I still have a consensus with A Dao

    Not as good as Almodovar previous pics, but still worth, especially if you're a fan!

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.

    [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.
