High Heels (1991)
9/10
First Almodovar Film
23 April 2005
I had no idea what i was off to see. I was living in Cambridge which has a good Arts Film Circuit and it was cheap to go at the time. I cannot remember laughing for so long over a foreign film that was not intended as a basic comedy. It had drama and a style that was really unusual at the time, prefiguring the 60's retro of the mid 1990's onwards (we are almost out of it now) No i did not get the references to past films but now i have been made aware of them i shall look a bit harder.I have seen most of his films since and in general they do improve on most levels but this was so funny and hooked me, and my friend. Wish i could get it on DVD
