Not much ado about nothing perhaps, just about very little...one of the more overrated films in recent memory.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was too complex in that I could not understand what the film meant. I could not assemble it for myself to one striking meaning. The characters go off in different directions without taking me to one destination, so to speak.

The use of the Super 8 was very clever (and disturbing). The mise-en-scene and lighting were often classic noir, direct. The metafiction and the emotion that followed were done well. Almodovar has a lot of ideas, but if we see a convergence of features in this work, or just a fireworks display of cinematography, I have to say the latter. But this is one of the most interesting films I have seen from a narrative structure point of view, and I would recommend others to see it. One gets the sense that this was a deeply felt film from the writer/director's point of view. I wonder very much how this work could be condensed, how this meta-fictional structure could apply elsewhere to a more powerful effect.… Expand

And personally I hate actors faking a foreign accent, yo don't need Gael to perform that character when you have so many real Spanish actors.… Expand

I'm a fan of Almodovar, the photography is very well done. Not too big a fan of watching gay sex, this had 2 scenes of it the first 15 minutes.
