Where: Theatres
What: Movie
When: Jan. 14
Genre: Drama
Why you should watch: Pedro Almodovar, one of Spain’s greatest filmmakers, is back with his favourite actor, Penelope Cruz in a sun-drenched film filled with colour that has a wisp of Noir haunting it. Cruz is one of two women who give birth at same time and whose lives dramatically intertwine as ghosts of the Spanish Civil War linger in the shadows. Almodovar and Cruz are at their best, with Oscars again possible.
