Spanish 2009
Almodovar's deft touch makes his movie within a movie flow between two time periods with Fred Astaire elegance. No other director I can think of can sustain such a low boil of passion, sensuality and tortuous jealousy. Well, there is Fellini of course.
Wait for the line spoken to the unnervingly beautiful Ms. Cruz by her smitten paramour/director as she poses in a Marilyn Monroe wig, 'Don't smile, the wig is false enough'
