Broken Embraces
Not Almodóvar’s finest, but enjoyable all the same. Perhaps a little too long and lacking the humour of his previous films. That said I loved the numerous film references throughout and the ending was great.

Live Flesh
Live Flesh (Carne trémula) is a bit different for an Almodóvar film, in part because the lead characters are male and the story is based on a Ruth Rendall novel. It’s not his best work, but still good, particularly towards the second half when the plot starts to thicken. Penélope Cruz makes a brief appearance at the start as the mother of the protagonist Victor.
