Description
The films of Spanish director Pedro Almodovar are fairly unique in the ranks of world cinema, for, among other things, their winking diversity of perspectives. Melodrama, black comedy, arty archness, emotional truth, garish overkill, and psychic insights seem to crash together into color-drenched heaps of sensory input. In other words, they hit you on many levels.
Mariachi is the fare that Mexican star Lola Beltran brings, along with Cuban La Lupe’s salsa energy for Almodovar’s well-known Woman on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down quivers to the pulse of Spanish rock band Duo Dinamico.
