One of the things that really stuck out to me about the film is how women kiss each other once on each cheek when they see each other. History repeats itself.įurthermore, Almodovar showcases Spanish culture at its richest in all its superstitious splendor people cleaning/decorating the tombs of the deceased, the dead coming back to life and watching over the living, and kisses. The story also seems to be in a constant circular motion as much of what happened in the first generation of women reoccurs in the successive generations.
No male character plays a major role in the film, though much of what happens to the women sometimes relates to men.
The women are two sisters Raimunda and Soledad 'Soli', Raimunda's daughter Paula, the sisters' deceased mother and aunt, their former neighbor Augustina, and the sisters' friends, neighbors, clients and acquaintances. Volver is an exploration of a family of women and how they, and the women around them, deal with death and life's tragedies that lead up to it. That says a lot, no?What's it about, pussycat: Ok, first off, don't call me that. This being only my second foray into the man's filmography after The Skin I Live In has already made of me a major and converted fan. Few movies have left me as shocked as Volver and it's not necessarily the story (which is amazing in itself) but Almodovar's fantastic direction. How everything was tied together in the end is simply put mind-blowing.
Rumsey at recommended it so highly.Īfter the credits started to roll, I seriously, dead ass was left mouth agape. Still, I loved what I'd seen so far, no matter my disorientation, and stuck it out till the end - also because Mr. I think some people would easily give up on the film as a result of this general confusion. I could not properly pigeonhole the film into a specific genre (the film is a mixture of so many!) I had no idea where it was going. The reason I say that is because halfway through Volver, I was wondering what the hell I was watching. Then again, some basic knowledge of what the film is about should exist prior to watching it.

For one, I definitely think most of the plot or the premise should be unknown prior to watching it.
