broken hugs...

so yesterday i went with my friend D to the new Almodovar's movie (actually not that new since it was playin while i was in Madrid last April). even though i'd heard some cold reviews about the film, i was really excited to get to see it. in general, i like his movies, but i'm not crazy about them...except All About my Mother, a movie that moves me to tears each and every time i see.
we met with D at 4.45pm in Lev (in the Dizzengof Center). in this movie theather you can always see less commercial and more "intelectual" movies. the movie was at 5 and we expected the place to be empty since it is summer here and it was terribly hot. obviuosly i'd underestimated Almodovar, cause the place was packed...really, it was hard to walk. in assistance some Israeli "stars" like Eytan Fox and his husband Gal Uchovsky (creators of many of the most famous Israeli gay themed movies including "Yossi and Jagger", "Walk on water" and "The Bubble"). suddenly someone shouts Gal's name...it was Rita! (THE israeli gay icon)...even me, not an israeli got totally shocked by that show...and in a place crowded by gays.
back to the movie, i really liked it. i got everything i expected from the Almodocar experience: the text, the picture, the music, the colour red in every frame of the film. it was supposed to be a drama, as all his movies, but there were some funny dialogs in this movie...in one of the final scenes it was so funny I started crying.
i totally recommend the film.
