This is extraordinary and powerful film deals with traumatic brain injury, coma, and the power of devotion in healers. It is complex, disturbing and ultimately beautiful.
"The male nurse tending a beautiful comatose woman bathes her nude body, talks endlessly to her of art (she was a dancer) finally makes love to her and impregnates her. Escandalo. The nurse is jailed but, giving birth, speech and movement are restored to his patient. And out of dark materials and an offhand surrealist style, Almodóvar fashions a wondrously ironic tale of redemption, which TIME accurately called a "profoundly witty and unique" experience.—R.S.
It is a "must see." 1 hr 56 minutes.
