Film: High Heels

I had seen this when it first came out and was a little disappointed. Maybe I'm generally less critical or my standards have dropped, but I was pleasantly surprised seeing it again. A great 'middle period' Almodovar, it's silliness is very apparent but the deepening of warmth and affection to the actresses is very pleasurable to watch. The wonderful Marisa Paredes brings a dimension of believability to the film that the central conceit around 'Lethal' takes away! (you'll have to watch it yourself!)
