I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

"Broken Embraces" from 2009 is another fine film by Pedro Almodovar, not my favorite, but still good. And again, it stars Penelope Cruz, whom he starred in "Volver." Instead of channeling Sophia Loren this time, for the purposes of the film within a film, she's like Audrey Hepburn.A blind screenwriter, Harry Caine (Lluís Homar), lives in Madrid and is helped in his daily activities by Judit and her son, Diego, whom he has known for years.When he learns of that businessman Ernesto Martel has died, it brings him back to the past.In the 1990s and before he was blinded, Harry went under his real name of Mateo Blanco and worked as a director. Casting his latest (and his last) film, he meets Lena (Cruz) and sparks fly between them immediately. He casts her, and her boyfriend, the older Ernesto, finances it. Nervous and possessive, he sends his son to film the filming and to spy on Lena and Mateo, and to give him the footage. His son does this, pretending to do a documentary about Mateo. There's plenty to see - the two are in love and having an affair. Not only that, but he has a lip reader tell him what they are saying on and off-camera.This is a film about passion, jealousy, creativity, as Ernesto views the "dailies" the way that Mateo probably views his own "dailies" during the movie. It's also about psychological blindness as well as physical blindness, both of which affect Harry. It's a melodramatic tale of tragic love, but an involving one, and a little on the long side.Penelope Cruz is unbelievably gorgeous, and does an effective job as Lena. There are other Almodovar films I prefer to this, including All About My Mother, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, and Volver, but I think his work is always worth seeing.

when it comes to Pedro Almodovar's cinema there's always an ocean of red and black combination.and of course Penelope Cruz beauty.as she ages it's like she gets more beautiful and dominates the silver screen.I find story telling a bit in a hurry.The crossings between events could be slower not sharp.there are some Hitchcockian moments like when two cars go one after another with headlights and the moment when Ernesto pushes Lena.director makes you feel like you are there among the characters but when director gets you out of there with scenes from above it's like you are dragged out of movie.towards the end plot gets unnecessarily complicated.do we really need to know that Mateo is Diego's true father? and when Mateo re-edits movie I expect a connection between movie's name,girls and suitcases, and the accident.It could be more Hitchcookian and exciting.

TTechnically beautiful, and well acted by the leads (some of the supporting cast is less than stellar), but there's a bit too much in this film-noir/comedy/romantic tragedy that feels over- the-top, for it to be a great film. And the homages to Hitchcock, Sirk, Amodovar's younger self, etc. walk the line between amusing and distracting. That said, this did improve on a second viewing, and became a more emotional and satisfying experience. A now blind writer remembers his past as a director with a different name who had a great love affair with his leading lady (Penelope Cruz, beautiful and wonderful as always), much to the fury of her powerful, industrialist sugar-daddy. Never boring, often enthralling, but somehow ultimately just a tiny touch less than the sum of its parts.

I watched this film because I had seen All About My Mother four years ago and loved it. I was happy to see that Broken Embraces retains the vibrant cinematography with its rich array of primary colors and perspectives only a camera can provide. Broken Embraces, whose settings are less gritty than those of All About My Mother, is even more gorgeous to look at than its predecessor. Moreover, the memorable shots in Broken Embraces never feel gratuitous or self-indulgent, but always seem to enhance the emotion of the plot points. Broken Embraces' melodramatic plot, however, does not dig as deeply into its themes as All About My Mother does. Some themes reappear, such as coming to terms with a dark past, optimism during life's crises, art, and homosexuality (although this is only touched on in Broken Embraces). It also stays away from some of All About My Mother's darker subjects, such as AIDS, transvestitism, and the death of a son. Whereas the latter is a dark, evocative drama, the former is a film-noir thriller with Penelope Cruz as the quintessential femme fatale (there's even a "I knew she was trouble when she walked into my office" scene!). Ms. Cruz gives a lovely performance, but after seeing her play an HIV-positive pregnant nun in All About My Mother and a jilted maniac in Vicki Cristina Barcelona, I figured she could play a charming but troubled actress in her sleep. The other performances are quite good as well, particularly Lluis Homar as a gentle but passionate screenwriter who has lost his sight. Taken on its own, Broken Embraces is an entertaining, romantic, and cinematically stunning film. I intended this review for those who, like me, were looking for another All About My Mother. At the end of that film, I felt inspired by the beauty of the world around me and amazed that such a dark film left me feeling so optimistic. While I enjoyed Broken Embraces and did not feel like I'd wasted my time watching it, it did not provide as powerful an emotional experience as that of All About My Mother.
