Description

Pedro Almodóvar's Volver (Coming Back) is set in Madrid's lively working-class neighborhoods, where three generations of women survive wind, fire and even death, thanks to goodness, audacity and a limitless vitality. They are Raimunda (Penélope Cruz), who is married to an unemployed laborer and has a teenage daughter (Yohana Cobo); Sole (Lola Dueñas), her sister, a hairdresser; and the mother of both (Carmen Maura), who died in a fire along with her husband. The presence of the mother, whose reappearance in death seems to arise out of a need to fix the situations she couldn't resolve in life, gradually becomes a comfort to her daughters as well as her grandchild. The female ensemble cast together was awarded Best Actress at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.

    Wonderful film about 3 generations of Spanish women, each of which have severe realationships with the men in thier lives. Cruz is stunning and everyone else is doing thier best to keep up with her. Well worth the rent. Subtitles go fast at times.
  • Brilliant and stunning!

    It is absolutely brilliant and stunning!! My favorite Almodovar film of them all. The story is great, the acting is superb. Penelope Cruise is in her element. If this is your first Almodovar film - it might seem confusing at first, just keep on going. All the pieces will fall into place and form an incredible story. You will absolutely love it.

    This movie is one of my favorites. Cruz is always at her best in Spanish and with Almodovar, but this movie is above all others. The look, the story, and the acting are excellent. Watch it.
