A man (Lluis Omar) writes, lives and loves in the darkness. He was the victim of a brutal car accident fourteen years ago. Not only did he lose his sight, but also the woman of his life, Lena (Penelope Cruz). He was a movie director, and Lena was his main actress and his lover, although she lived with a successful mogul (José Luis Gómez).
PRO REVIEWS
----------------------------------------
"'Broken Embraces': Wholly Delightful. (...) the presence of Penélope Cruz is incendiary, (...) And Mr. Almodóvar's love of movies informs every frame of this beautiful film." (Joe Morgenstern: The Wall Street Journal) ----------------------------------------
"A restless, rangy and frankly enjoyable genre-juggler that combines melodrama, comedy and more noir-hued darkness than ever before, the pic is held together by the extraordinary force of Almodovar's cinematic personality. But while its four-way in extremis love story dazzles, it never really catches fire." (Jonathan Holland: Variety) ----------------------------------------
"Cruz exudes a sensual aura of mystery that holds you spellbound. And Almodóvar, a true poet of cinema, creates images —horrifying and healing— that live inside your head like a waking dream. (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone) ----------------------------------------
