Essentially a two-hander, with support from John Turturro, who plays Damian, ex-lover to both women, the film is suffused with Almodóvar’s signature stylistic elegance and represents again his uncanny ability to elicit captivating performances.
The elegiac mood, typical for this period of the director’s career, is exemplified by his use of Joyce’s The Dead, the final passage of which features prominently.
