Plot

A blind writer remembers his love.

Sinekatalog’s take

Pedro Almodóvar's film-noir-tinged melodrama of a blind screenwriter and a lost love is lush and layered. Penélope Cruz glows, and its film-within-a-film structure is a loving tribute to cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
