Last night I went to the Cinema and watched the new movie by Pedro Almodovar " Volver".It is about the life of three women near Madrid,the mother Raymonda (who is Penolope Cruz) , her sister, who works as a hairdresser in an "illegal" saloon which she runs from home.
And Raymondas daughter.
Raymonda is marrried to a guy who has just been sacked from his office.
Raymonda takes on some more jobs in order to survive with the money, and one day when she comes home from work she finds her daughterstanding completely confused in the middle of the road.
She just killed her father as he tried to molest her in her room.
Now the mother had to get rid of the dead body inthe house and carried it wrapped in tissues to a nearby abandoned restaurant, which used to belong to a friend of her, who was trying to sell the restaurant because he got a better job somewhere else.
As soon as Raymonda put the dead body into the fridge, a man knocked at the door, asking if he and his film crew who just finished their work could have a meal here.
Raymonda spontaniously decided to arrange some from and cook for 30 people to earn some money.
Then there is her sister the hairdresser, who one day sees the ghost of her dead mother who lost her life in a fire 4 years ago.
This ghost moves in with her daughter and helps out in her saloon, pretending to be a Russian immigrant who doesn't speak the language.
And so the story goes on , and the viewer is really taken in witch it, is being put in a different kind of realty as the movie always goes along the borderline of surreality and possibility. Moreover it is a story of great emotions and destiny I really enjoyed watching it, as finally all turns out different then it seemes, the viewer is being led into a dead end, believing something that turns out to be wrong.
In my opinion this is masterpiece of the challenging entertainment, if you get a chance to see it, don't miss it.
