An aging and blind film director (Lluís Homar) tells his personal assistant, Diego (Tamar Novas), about his life before the accident that left him in the dark, when he became embroiled in a torrid affair with aspiring actress Lena (Penélope Cruz). His story also involves Diego's film producer mother (Blanca Portillo) and a deceitful financier (José Luis Gómez). Legendary filmmaker Pedro Almodovar writes and directs this noirish thriller.
Finishing watching it..
...."Lena no murio entre tus brazos como habeis sonado, pero la ultima sensacion que se llevo de este mundo fue el sabor de tu boca...."....
Watched this today as it was on the 'Encore Love' channel... Another Almodovar triumph. Probably one of his most straight-forward, cohesive work. This is a good one of his films to start off with.
