Starring Carmen Maura, Gonzalez Suárez, Luis Hostalot
Now this is more like it.
Addiction to prescription drugs, hanging out with local prostitutes and some pedophilia injected in for a few more laughs. Only Almodovar can pull this off.
Gloria, an ill-literate mother is attempting all she can to ensure her sanity. This doesn't prove easy as her unappreciative husband and her bizarre mother-in-law constantly provide hassle. She attempts to take jobs here and there, her husband disapproving. Her oldest son is involved with drugs whilst the youngest is an accepting target for older men.
Looking back on it, the film doesn't have full plot. It's nice to see the main character face each obstacle in order to better herself. And Almodovar manages to keep the structure neat with a clearer goal and, dare I say it, bigger budget.
4/5
