Since 'Hable con ella' ('Talk to her', for which my summary line was 'Almodovar mellowing?') which some consider Almodovar's best, his fans have been looking forward to his next one with great expectation but also some apprehension as to how could he possibly tope it, in the sheer ingenious creativity, if nothing else. Bound for Cannes release, Bad Education soon demonstrated that the apprehension is not unfounded. It is, after all, not easy to surpass the achievement of Hanle con ella...
Volver/ / Pedro Almodóvar
Volver is by far one of the best movies of Almodovar. The way he narrates the story with the camera is just perfect: gently and with character. You will see how feelings and emotions are driven smoothly by a great group of actresses (Penélope does a GREAT job along with Carmen Maura) which perfectly understand what the director wants to deliver and how to do it.
It is another of those twisted bitter stories of life that Almodovar knows well and enjoys developing and producing them. Don't miss i...
进过一年的休整后，西班牙电影的旗帜人物阿莫多瓦今年终于推出新片，再次携手西班牙最性感，最具国际影响力女明星佩内洛普·克鲁兹，献给观众一个略带黑色幽默的悲喜剧故事。该片从2008年初就开始筹拍，剧本在阿莫多瓦手中一改再改，其精彩程度，不亚于大获好评的《回归》，着重刻画了人物在爱情面前的“疯狂”。故事充满了幻想性和令人费解的巧合，一个失明的男人具有双重身份，失去爱人后，通过写作来保存对生活的信心，某天邂逅了一段古怪而疯狂的爱情，与他人的生命轨迹发生了碰撞和交织。在《破碎的拥抱》中，克鲁兹一改以往的黑发美...
I loved it, it is pure Almodovarian genius! This really embraces everything that Pedro Almodovar stands for, setting out to include every social taboo in the book, but presenting it in a manner which, although shocking, doesn't seem to be making a social comment. More structured than earlier films, although not making as much of a comment about the "transition to democracy" period, which has by this point pretty much passed. It is a spectacular work of social realism which shows how much Spanish...
I'm talking about ARREBATO (1979), of course.
While Zulueta can be compared to other great filmmakers like Lynch or Buñuel, watching his brief filmography (he had no luck with the film industry) it's obvious that he has his own, magnificent style. An style that combines surrealism, fantasy and most important, the exploration of the fascinating human mind (ARREBATO was a film about an obsession and a dependence).
If someone was in Spain around the 80's and watched the TV (far better than the ac...
That short film of Ivan Zulueta is a masterpice realize before "Arrebato" and one of the most disturbing short films that i see. Without a screenplay the film experiment the montage with still images and the sound. Is indescribable you must to see it...

Musical. Comedia. Parodia / SINOPSIS: Un grupo de jóvenes músicos hará lo imposible para boicotear una canción que no les gusta nada, y que va a representar a España en un famoso festival de música. Una insólita cinta del singular Zulueta en la que, tras el éxito de Massiel en el Festival de Eurovisión, se parodia este tipo de concursos con una delirante historia rodada sin guión y con la actuación de varios grupos punteros de la época. (FILMAFFINITY)
Unos años antes, en 1968, Pedro Olea prod...

Iván Zulueta的处女作。
Arrebato is an unknown film also in Spain because it's very difficult to access to one copy of this inimitable film. In fact I think that Arrebato had been seen by a minoritary group of all the people who loves deeply the good cinema. It is a cult movie made with the same cast and professionals than Almodovar first films, but it isn't an Almodovar's film. It is one of this films that change your impressions about the cinema and without any doubt, we can say that is the history which better refle...
This astonishing documentary takes place aboard a diamond dredger anchored off the coast of Namibia. The dredger is owned and operated by the De Beers Corporation, the world's largest diamond processing company. The crew is diverse and fractious: the engineers South African, the captain and cook Cuban, the security officer Israeli, and the deckhands Namibian. The South Africans are well educated and white (and one of them is bluntly racist), the Cubans are low key and friendly, the Israeli is a ...
Saw this on TV and thought it was pretty good. It shows how everything is stacked against these kids, especially their own self-image. Nothing is simple -- everyone has an angle. Who's straight and who's gay? Hard to tell. Are Nino and Dudu responsible for making things worse for themselves? They seem to screw up every change to improve things. But on the other hand, everything comes with strings attached. The men who give them money and other things are amazingly candid about their mixed motive...
Tali, the director of the movie films the meetings of Holocaust survivors as they gather on Mount Herzel National Cemetery. The movie catches the idiosyncrasies of the elderly people. Sometimes these have a comic irony.
As the time passes, some of them pass away and that is emotional. Somehow, that draws them more.
Also Tali interviews and follows with camera her grandmother and her aunt. That keeps the movie in the family and makes it, in this way, more intimate and sensitive to nuances. The ...
