Almodovar- 'Volver'

A film of sisters, mothers and daughters, through which I fell in love temporarily with Penelope Cruz. R. and I adored 'Volver', a feminist film in that the few men are peripheral figures, plot props and unfleshed vehicles, who blow through like the wind and are the source of insanity. R. is always emotive at the cinema, to which I've accommodated and even grown to appreciate over time, and tonight we shared tissues as well as laughs. My Spanish is crap, but I picked up the Madrileno accent, smearing a 'v' to a 'b' sound.
