Pedro Almodóvar’s new movie follows an ageing film-maker in a creative rut. “Deep down I know I’m talking about myself,” the director said
FEDERICO FELLINI reckoned that “all art is autobiographical”. His masterpiece, “8 ½” , told a whimsical story of a fictional film-maker looking back over his life as he struggles to complete a new work. Critics have long assumed that Pedro Almodóvar’s films have similarly drawn on his own personal history, partly because they have often centred on artists.
As Mallo’s mind drifts back to the past, the past also comes back to meet him in a series of re-encounters. He visits an actor with whom he had a public falling-out—their relationship echoes the occasionally fractious real-life partnership between Mr Almodóvar and Mr Banderas—and lets him perform a one-act play he has been writing about an old lover. By chance, that lover sees the play and comes to Mallo’s home. As they catch up, they tiptoe around the subject of their regrets.
