The Queen's Heroine of Almodovar is incompletely recorded

Almodovar's latest film "Return" has been praised by many media as "a joint performance of six Almodovar queen actresses". I think this statement is absurd.
As a loyal and die-hard fan of Almodovar, I was fortunate enough to have seen all of his movies. I feel that I still have a say in who are Almodovar's queen actresses. First of all, "Queen" means that the actress has appeared in his movie at least once. Secondly, it must be those memorable actors who shine in the movie. Below I list as much as possible the outstanding queen actresses that emerged in Almodovar's 15 films before "Return", and the unforgettable roles they played.

(The following rankings are in no particular order)

1. Carmen Maura,
a crazy girl who was raped by the police and waited for an opportunity to retaliate. By the way, she opened an advertising company and dedicated to us the strongest panty advertisement in history. (Although it was raped, it is still open to question whether he took the initiative to seduce him)
b A nun who eschews reality and is accompanied by a tiger----"Dark Habits"
c A housewife who is tired of life pressure and finally murdered her husband by mistake--- - "Why should my life be like this" (the bathhouse sex scene is comparable to Hitchcock's "Mental Patient")
d indistinguishable transgender female star-"Law of Desire" ("Across America "Lenette" is not the first person to eat crabs)
e Voice actor abandoned by a married lover

------- "Woman on the verge of mental breakdown" 2. Marisa ·Paredes Marisa Paredes
a nun who escapes reality and smokes marijuana-----"Dark Habits"
b, the female singer who committed the crime of her daughter before dying-----"high heels" (perfect for movies and songs) Combined)
c. Leo, the best-selling romance novel writer abandoned by her husband--------"My Mysterious Flower" Mother and sister)
Yanmi, a gay actor who plays on stage---------"Everything About My Mother" (Her red poster makes me unforgettable, "What do I look at when I stare at me? I'm ugly? ")
e listeners who are watching the male singer singing "The Pigeon" --------- "Speak to Her" (A friendly appearance in less than 5 seconds indicates that I have a good personal relationship with Almodovar)

3. Rossy de Palma
a TV host ------------ "Law of Desire" (a one-minute shot opened the most personal "A girl" career)
b Antonio· Banderas's girlfriend, was finally abandoned-"The Woman on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" (for this strange combination, the breakup is a matter of time)
c The big sister of the black market who sells drugs- -"Tie Me, Tie Me" (In the film, he beats Antonio Banderas, and finally takes revenge, hehe)
d has an incest with his younger brother, and has a crush on Juana, the servant of the hostess Kika--- ----"Kika" (this is one of my favorite characters, sincerity is her greatest strength)
e housewife who quarrels with her mother all day, Leo’s sister-------"My "Mysterious Flower" (listening to the quarrel between their mother and daughter is a pleasant enjoyment)

4.Chus Lampreave
a nun who escapes reality and secretly writes erotic novels----------"Dark Habits" (God! Are the nuns here still normal?)
b Take home The weird mother-in-law who sells all her foods locked up-----"Why should my life be like this" (Thick lenses can't stop the amazing acting)
c The mother of the raped female model----------"Matador" (it turns out that the actor is not that old, the role here is more in line with her actual age)
d,e nosy landlord-- ------ "The Woman on the
Verge of a Nervous Breakdown ", "Speaking to Her" f and her daughter quarreled, Leo's mother -------- "My Mysterious Flower" (the role of the old mother Interpretation to the peak)


5.Cecilia Roth
a. The actress in the panties advertisement mentioned earlier-"The Legend of the Stout Girl" (Mom, you were so crazy before?)
b. Afraid of seeing the sun, indulging in promiscuity with strangers The rock female singer finally appeared a person who looked exactly like herself, had sex with the female singer’s father, and solved his father’s heart disease for many years-"Passion Labyrinth" (a friend who likes "All About My Mother" (Maybe I can’t accept it)
c Acting as an advertising girl again, half of her face was burned by the coffee made by her lover, but she still did not forget to praise "It tastes great"-"Why should my life be like this" (Is this about my mother? Everything?)
d The great mother Manuela who made a great return in order to fulfill her son’s last wish ------ "All About My Mother" (needless to say this)
c Appreciating the male singer singing "The Pigeon" The audience of "Speaking to Her" (Like Marissa Paredes, it was played in less than 5 seconds of friendship. People can’t help wondering whether "Speaking to Her" Filmed between "Everything About My Mother")

6.Victoria Abril Victoria Abril
an actress who fell in love with Antonio Banderas who kidnapped herself --- "Tie Me, Tie Me" (three points revealed)
b Loves her mother abnormally , A hostess who imitated her mother and even married her mother’s lover ------ "High Heels" (Two points revealed)
c Overhead cameras broadcast live broadcasts of "everyday bad things" (such as shootings, rapes), an alternative host ----- "Kika" (this time simply put on fake breasts, it seems famous The bigger, the thicker you wear)

7.Ferónica Verónica Forqué
a neurotic, but lovable prostitute—— "Why should my life be like this?" (What touched me most was that when the child she was about to seduce called her aunt When, she froze for a while, and immediately took out the appearance of being an aunt, cooking for the children)
b The more neurotic, but more lovable make-up artist Kika------------"Kika" ( Her laughter can dispel all sorrows)


8.
The "Glorious Mother" produced by Penélope Cruz on the bus --- "Living Beauty" (This time there are very few scenes, but it is the only thing I remember in this movie Actress)
b Sister Rosa who is suffering from AIDS-----------"Everything About My Mother" (Although she is still dead this time, her role is obviously much more. In Almodovar In the movie, you can’t associate her with the “Spanish vixen” who specializes in grabbing other people’s husbands in reality.)

It can be seen that there are only three Queen Almodova actresses in "Return": Carmen Mora (Recognized as the mother of the "ghost"), Chas Lamprefer (the old aunt Paula), Penelope Cruz (the heroine Raymonda), the other three are the first time in Afghanistan The newcomers appearing in Modova's films are good to good, but "Queens" is really not a good one. I don't know when the above eight genuine queen actresses can get together on the same stage. I think it will definitely be a big event that fans all over the world are looking forward to.

    About women's forbearance, about the reincarnation of life and death; under the lens of Almodovar, all the strange love becomes so smooth and natural

  • Duncan 2022-03-24 09:01:55

    The only core word "comprehensive" is not included in Almodovar's praise to "All About My Mother". Son, as the only male psychology in this film, was "cut out" of this mother body early by him, just because this female-exclusive "A Streetcar Named Desire" would not be moved by his simplicity. For this reason, he invites all the audience outside the screen to enter the theater, for fear that it will become a fantasy, and under the banner of "Women Only", he will not get the completeness he wants.
