The Romantics
Pedro Almodóvar with Penélope Cruz

Four films together: Live Flesh (1997), All About My Mother (1999), Volver (2006), and Broken Embraces (2009).

Broken Embraces has a valedictory feel to it, or at least it conveys a sense that the 60-year-old Almodóvar—a man for whom it was once compulsory to use the words enfant terrible—is taking stock of his life. The movie is about a filmmaker, cruelly robbed of sight, who recounts to a young man the tragic story of his greatest love: a stunning beauty he rescued from the gilded clutches of kept-womanhood. There are stylistic nods to the 1950s weepie-meister Douglas Sirk and to Michael Powell’s sick-joke movie Peeping Tom. There are glimpses of the movie that the director made with his doomed love, a Day-Glo bauble that harkens back to Almodóvar’s youthful 1980s “wacky” period. And there is Cruz. Almodóvar uses his fractured narrative to frame her in all manner of looks and ways: in a Marilyn wig, in drab secretarial gear, in the Chuck Close–like pixelation of enlarged, super-slo-mo playback … all in the cause of proving that the camera loves her as much as ol’ Pedro does.

Penelope got an oscar nod! But to be honest I thought there where better performances than hers.

 

[Versace-Goddess]

So great for her again. So we´re waiting for stunning gown.

 

[LolaSvelt]

Terrible nomination. And the worst thing is that she'll probably wear a boring gown too. She was much better in Broken Embraces.

 

[jomarlushka]

I agree! don't understand this nomination!

 

[Versace-Goddess]

But she looked always different and more interesting at The Oscars than at other awards shows. Remember last year and the pink Versace gown.

 

[LolaSvelt]

Pink Versace gown? I thought she wore a white vintage Balmain dress?

Edit: Do you mean the Atelier Versace dress in 2007? I thought it was nude? Anyway, that was before her style got so boring.

I agree. While she was good. I thought Marion Cotillard and Judi Dench were better than her. But oh well!

 

[tullepen]

I love Penelope in Vanilla Sky.She was just so lovable and I think did the role great.I love her in the last scene,crying.She did a good job.

 

[kobro22]

I agree. While she was good. I thought Marion Cotillard and Judi Dench were better than her. But oh well!

The reason Pene got her nom is because she really hussled she did a lot of press, had several dinners thrown in her honor etc. Its all PR. Its a shame that she got the nom instead of Laurent for Inglourious Basterds.
