Rare work, good style... the love of a mother, a transvestite and a murder
12 October 2006 | by (Colombia) – See all my reviews

This the only movie that I have seen of Almodovar.

It is not a work that makes me jump of emotion, but it is a good history about murder, hate and pardon.

Good performances and great music, but a little aggressive in some topics as the sex, but that doesn't remove a great roguery divided in each scene.

There is something that i love of this movie and it is the first Miguel Bose appearance singing a song in a club. I love that song! And believe me, I sing that song the whole time.

And there is another wonderful thing and is about the pardon between a mother and her daughter that had to live around an unconscious fight caused by a work.

At the end she reconciles with her and they finish the long discussion with two heels that go away framing a great shade in the sick women wall. The wall of the woman who forgives and is forgiven.
