Flesh

Live Flesh / Carne trémula
Series: Viva Pedro Returns! [Dec 27 2006 – Jan 3 2007]
Director: Pedro Almodóvar, Country: Spain, Release: 1997, Runtime: 100

Pedro Almodóvar's gorgeous film opens in Franco's Madrid — on a particularly bad night of his stifling regime. We flash forward into Almodóvar's Madrid — a city of explosive vibrancy and activity yet haunted by the ghosts of the past. Here he sets his most glittering drama, a thriller involving the tangled interrelationships of two cops (Javier Bardem, José Sancho), a philandering wife (Ángela Molina), a diplomat's daughter (Francesca Neri) and his wide-eyed protagonist, ardently played by Liberto Rabal. While on the surface Almodóvar presents us with a glittering hard candy — sparkling with sex and humor — underneath we sense his attraction to the Buńuelian issues of death, destiny and guilt.
