Volver (2006)
Volver = To return. Penelope Cruz is fantastic/amazing/wonderful in this film by Pedro Almodovar. Strangely the film reminds me of Brazil and Latin America — with all the hugging and kissing, but I suppose that’s Spain, too. It’s a fascinating story, and I liked the music. The fictional history behind the title song lends the scene where Cruz’s character sings great impact. There are dark parts of the movie, but mostly it’s really funny. Hilarious, in fact.
