Just caught this last night.  Beautifully shot by Jose Alcaine. 

 

One of the best movies that Pedro has ever made. 


After having worked with him many years ago, it is absolutely impressive to see how open he talks about himself in this movie (Antonio Banderas IS Pedro), about his dreams, his fantasies, his sins, his flaws, etc. 

Many artists will recognise themselves in some of the sequences because it is, definitely, a fabulous tale about an artist life. 

Regarding the cinematography, I thought that some of it was extremely beautifully shot (all the sequences with Penelope and the "film bits") but I didn't like two sets, one of them is Pedro's house and the other one the monologue in the theatre; and one transition where I saw the IRIS change clearly (and so did the whole cinema!) other than that, is espectacular. 

The scene that I loved the most is when the "builder" is making a drawing of the kid inside the house.. sublime!

I'm glad you liked it Michael! ?
