Volver
Wednesday, May 31, 2006

I've become a lazy fucker ever since I finished my exams. I've taken two VERY long naps today, but I'm still a little bit exhausted. I went to see a movie, Volver by Pedro Almodovar, who is one of my favorite directors. It came out nearly three months ago but I was too busy to see it then, and Dah didn't want to see it, and I wasn't into the idea of seeing it on my own. But I didn't want to spend another day locked at home, so I went anyway. I hadn't gone to the movies on my own in six months, and I had forgotten how depressing is to do such thing. The crowd at the theatre was mostly old. Like straight couples well over 60. It was kinda embarrassing to be in the middle of that. lol.

I loved the film even though it takes a little time to take off. The actresses are wonderful, and they totally deserve the Best Actress award they've just won at Cannes Film Festival. Penelope Cruz is beyond excellent. One of her best performances, hands down. The screenplay is hilarious and has lots of one-liners which I have to incorporate to my vocabulary. It comes out in the US in October. I hope Sony is smart enough to promote this one heavely to see if they can pull a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and score some major nominations. Academy Award nominee Penelope Cruz? Oh yeah! ^^
