DVD of the Week: Volver
Tagged: DVD, FilmPosted on: April 10th, 2007“”It was like wearing a magnet pulling you to the ground,” Pedro Almodóvar says to Penélope Cruz of the prosthetic rump he had her don to play Raimunda, a much-beleaguered working-class mom in Volver, the latest in a long streak of cinematic triumphs for writer/director Almodóvar and something of a revelation for doubters of Cruzs considerable talents.
Volver, which debuted at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival and topped off Sony Pictures Classics “Viva Pedro” rep series last year, begins with a stunning evocation of the windy region of La Mancha.”
