All About My Mother
I would like to recommend to everyone the director's version, extended by more than twenty minutes, of additional scenes, which gives a fuller picture of the film and in an interesting way explains some issues completely omitted in the cinema release. Most movie, even the greatest ones, evaporate like a fog when you return to the real world, leaving their memories behind, but the facts quickly wasted. This is not :). The main actor plays extremely suggestively, naturally and emotionally. His creation is undoubtedly one of the best in this film and also one of the best in the actor's career. All About My Mother filled me with difficult to explain energy, got me so immersed in it. The directing by Pedro Almodóvar was just magnificent. Althought it is very underrated movie. Now sit down and watch, I'm 100% sure, you won't be disappointed.
