This feature is considered one of the best of Almodovar, the one that elected to "women's director." Yet what stands out most are the colors, the way he portrays the reality to ironic and contrasting colors: on the one hand, the men seen as the bearers of evil, the other women, not passively victims of evil, but capable of stand up and choose for themselves.
Banderas in the role of stuttering still can be a negative character: it ends up betraying his girlfriend in his moment of "absence", while remaining under the thumb of a mother, which does not explain his reasons.
Rating: 10 cum laude.
