Peliculas

That's Spanish for films. I have been watching quite a few recently, to help with the learning.

Volver - Pedro Almodovar. A soap opera of a film. I like the colourful palette in Almodovar's films.



Bad Education - Almodovar. An almost comic treating of a taboo subject, with Gael Garcia in tighty-whities.



All about my Mother - Almodovar. This films wraps up so well.



Take my Eyes - Iciar Bollain. A film about domestic violence. Nothing new, but a contrast to the often sensationalist approaches of Hollywood.



Talk to Her - Almodovar. This film did not touch me in the same way Almodovar's other films have done. Perhaps it was the controversial subject matter, or just the fact the protagonists were male.



The Shrinking Lover: the short film within Talk to Her: a metaphor for an unspeakable act.



That clip reminded me of something I came across a while ago, and has been residing in my screensaver folder for some time. It is a still from an erotic Italian film made in the 60s, 'Femina Ridens'.
