Weekend film: Broken Embraces by Pedro Almodóvar

WARNING! Too hot.

Film for the weekend: Broken Embraces, Pedro Almodóvar.

There's a chance you won't remember the plot, so let's add a few details. It's a series of flashbacks from the life of a once-famous director who survived a car crash and lost his sight. At the centre of it all is the love of his life, Lena (Penélope Cruz).

It's a film about passion, jealousy, power, anger and sex (of course), all within a love quadrangle. Beautiful, sensual, grown-up, and with some impossibly gorgeous erotic scenes. Very sexy. We warned you.
