Liebeserklärung und Frauen in kühlerem Ton

Both women are in the stark, complicated and non-hanging female figures that Pedro Almodovar’s universe achieves. It is my dear wife, who dies in a Krise-stecken, in Rande a Nervenzusammenbruchs. Sie sind Hauptdarstellerinnen in sinnlichen Melodramen, die – trotz schwerer Themen wie often dem Tod – Lebensfreude versprühen. Bunt, shrill and leadschaftlich.

But with the first English-language feature film is a new one, which the Spanish journalist David Martos says, the Almodovar’s career says years: “A man can know for sure, the zum american film noir is recognized. It has become one of the few, elegant, elegant and American work.”

If it is no longer possible that Freundin Ingrid is one of the most common cases, then it is Sterben zo begleiten. Not an ihrem Bett, son of Raum nebenan.

Ingrid wants a. And I think that now I have my fear of asking them and that I can use them differently. It is one of the most important things that came about in the 74th century: ‘I think that you want to show a Tag a Tag, which will not live either. Ich würde viel probably to think, that is a Tag more ist, den ich erlebt habe.»

Preparing for the day

History is no longer of Schmerz, but of Leben, of zärtlicher Freundschaft, Empathy and Property. The fascination for the 63-years Tilda Swinton, who herself has a fear of death: “This film is about Selbstbestimmung, of jemandem, the best, the Leben and the Dyben in the own Hand of their nehmen and both, so that they can choose gestalten.”

Triumph on the rotten teppich: With «The Room Next Door» Pedro Almodovar is a very good alternative work, das auf dem Lido got an unheimisch applause. It is the best chance to get brilliant Darstellerinnen, a prize for your wins. For the director it is a matter of arranging with any theme.
