📖 Synopsis
In Madrid, a night of chance encounters and violence forever marks the lives of a young man from a lower class, two policemen, and a woman in a wheelchair. Almodóvar adapts Ruth Rendell with narrative tension and emotional depth, exploring desire, guilt, and destiny. Impeccably portrayed by Javier Bardem, Francesca Neri, and a then-unknown Liberto Rabal, it is one of his most solidly narrated films.
✍️ Our review
8.3/10
★★★★☆
Almodóvar in thriller mode is as brilliant as in melodrama. Javier Bardem exudes magnetism. One of the director's most unfairly forgotten films.
