We finally saw the last Almodovar film last night (Broken Embraces). The film had a bit more serious feel to it than some of the madcapness of many of his other films. I didn't know there was an "homage" to Women on the Verge in the film - which I loved. Penelope Cruz continues to amaze me. Paired with a great director, she is a wonderful actress (and amazingly beautiful). She reminds me of Sophia Loren quite a bit.
If you're an Almodovar fan, rent it. If you don't know who Almodovar is, then rent Women on the Verge first.
