And the best romantic comedy of the decade.
Almodovar may err on the side of exploitation, but he always has
genuine compassion for his characters. His situations are always
interesting, but his films can at times be uneven. He's perfectly
focused in this film.
Antonio Banderes plays a released mental patient who tracks
down a one time porno actress/ one time junkie who currently
stars in a series of slasher films. He follows her home and ties
her up. He does not rape, rob, or hurt her. He instead insists that
they had an affair before, and that they said that they'd get married
should Banderes be released. At first, she naturally thinks he's
nuts. But the more he keeps her captive, the more she begins to
succumb to his charms.
A wonderful film, full of color, humor, romance, and one of the best
sex scenes I've ver seen.
