In my opinion, a careful director has created a very ingenious script, using some nonsensical coincidences to string together characters with distinct personalities that are unforgettable at first sight. The scene at the airport at the end was simply a mix of flavors, exciting, funny, and sad feelings all of a sudden came to my mind. I have never felt the director's sympathetic attitude towards women. On the contrary, female characters in Almodovar's films are always equal to men, sometimes even more decent and greater than men.
Of course, the film's strong color impact, bright tomatoes, red high-heeled shoes, pink sofa... These exquisite art designs build up the gorgeous world in Almodóvar's films, but they are often unexpected. It contrasts with the sad, lonely, and unstable state of mind of the heroine. Carmen Maura's performance is one of a kind, exaggerated, delicate, and free.
