PEDRO
Today's film was Pedro Almodovar's
Carne trémula / Live Flesh (1997)
I had to work a bit to find a review that liked it as much as I did.
It has had a very mixed reception but some believe it is his best.
It is very sexy and that is true no matter what your orientation is.
There are very few het films that can make that claim; Body Heat with Kathleen Turner and William Hurt, Don't Look Now with Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie. A few others. The Big Easy. Eileeen Barken and Dennis Quaid.
We have seen almost every Almodovar film at one time or another.
Now, I am building up to see Volver
This is an earlier later film. Soon, we will see a recent film. Then Volver.
One whets one's appetite.
It is a mini-festival.
This gets a 5 out of Netflix5 anyway.
