Almodovar's latest looks like it is going be great!
The legend who made one of my personal favourite films of all time: 'All About My Mother', is returning with his latest film in which he is reunited with Antonio Banderas. The following clip from the film does not give away too much but it still gave me an intense desire to watch it, right now.
The synopsis is as follows: 'Ever since his wife was burned in a car crash, Dr. Robert Ledgard, an eminent plastic surgeon, has been interested in creating a new skin with which he could have saved her. After twelve years, he manages to cultivate a skin that is a real shield against every assault. In addition to years of study and experimentation, Robert needed a further three things: no scruples, an accomplice and a human guinea pig. Scruples were never a problem. Marilia, the woman who looked after him from the day he was born, is his most faithful accomplice. And as for the human guinea pig…' (Stolen directly from the Cannes website.)
Even though the trailer is so short, it is a strong reminder of the visual style, energy and effortless of his films. I can't wait!
I am interested to see what the reaction will be at Cannes when it premieres there.
Also, the film's poster looks amazing!
