She is wonderfully beautiful and tremendously hot but because of trauma in her past she can't address this issue. Men mistreat her because of the way she looks, which is why she doesn't refer to the way she looks but Almodovar doesn't have to hide it. It's clear in every scene that he is celebrating her beauty and her sensuality, her gift and a curse. It's a very sexual performance.<br /><br />And she lost to Queen Mirren for the Oscar? Pah, her cleavage and eyes each deserved their own golden statues.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07779265264692198309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836661004273915348.post-67350618927568043272010-09-09T20:44:32.792+01:002010-09-09T20:44:32.792+01:00Its good... but not as good as other Almodovar fil...Its good... but not as good as other Almodovar films.simoncolumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027922399726786918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836661004273915348.post-47077923033198519962010-09-09T13:27:22.964+01:002010-09-09T13:27:22.964+01:00This was added to the updated version of 1001 Movi...This was added to the updated version of 1001 Movies to see before you die.
