Directed by Pedro Almodovar1997 Drama
Rated R
****
Pedro Almodovar's Live Flesh, his first complete foray into dramatic material (after the comedy/drama of the Flower of My Secret), sometimes plays like a well-acted soap opera. Fortunately, the good performances (including a great early role for Javier Bardem) keep it from slipping into complete melodrama. Good cinematography (including a brilliant slow zoom near the beginning) adds to the enjoyment.
