Broken Embraces in The Stranger
I review Pedro Almodovar’s Broken Embraces for The Stranger.
We pretty much know what to expect from Pedro Almodóvar by now. He’s Spain’s master of the overheated melodrama with a sexy cast, a screwball soul, and an overcharged emotional atmosphere of obsessive desire, bad behavior, and worse judgment.
Broken Embraces puts a frame around those expectations and subdues all that excess.
