Plot
A man kidnaps an actress to make her love him.
Sinekatalog’s take
Pedro Almodóvar's provocative comedy of a kidnapper who wants love is bright, sexy and controversial. Antonio Banderas and Victoria Abril play it with conviction, but the premise remains deliberately uncomfortable.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
