Only Cruz could have carried off those hoop earrings, as big as soup-plates, and on anyone else her black top with the flowery design might have looked as if it came from Primark. But of course, Cruz is intensely engaged with one man: AlmodГіvar himself, who manages to draw out her presence like a ductile material and spread it all over his movie. Her real relationship is with her daughter, her sister, her mother and with her garrulous women-friends and neighbours - all chattering, laughing and, at a funeral, mumbling prayers like a swarm of pious, black-clad bees. There are a couple of men in the picture who are in love with Raimunda, but they are tentative and almost reticent in their adoration. She moves, however, without the soundtrack of wolf-whistles that earlier ages might have composed for her. When Cruz struts with unselfconscious sexiness through the streets, carrying a rounded, wiggling behind that might almost be prosthetic, she resembles the young Sophia Loren. A neighbour asks about the bloodstain on her neck, and quick-thinking Raimunda says it is merely 'women's trouble': a laugh line that relieves the tension, but is also nothing more nor less than the truth. The image goes beyond camp, and certainly beyond desire, into a feminised world in which work, survival and family love are paramount. On the left of the screen, we see the implement of violence in the plastic bowl above the soiled plates, and on the right there is the glistening crown of Raimunda's glorious raven hair and her magnificent cleavage - the size of which her mother is later wonderingly to remark upon, and in which nestles an enamel miniature of the crucified Christ. There is a wonderful overhead shot of Raimunda washing up a bloodstained knife in the kitchen sink. In its vividness and intense, almost neurotic sensitivity to colour, particularly the colour red, it also looks like a Hitchcock thriller. AlmodГіvar has something of Sirk's passionate empathy with women, mixed with a gay sensibility - though the film is unlike Sirk's in that men are entirely marginal. Its cinematography and art direction, by JosГ© Luis Alcaine and Salvador Parra, give everything an intensity that, like previous AlmodГіvar films, has the feel of a Douglas Sirk film. All the movie's secrets are rolled out in a narrative design that is exuberant and elegant.

Or is it? As the movie drifts along the periphery of the supernatural, I went into a trance, which AlmodГіvar induces with a master's confidence. Raimunda's family life shatters with one terrible act of violence, and there is a secret about her late mother Irene (Carmen Maura) that surfaces when Irene returns from beyond the grave to make contact with her astonished daughters.

With her sister Sole (Lola DueГ±as) she tends to the graves of her parents, and visits her ailing Aunt Paula (Chus Lampreave), who is heartrendingly in the final stages of dementia. PenГ©lope Cruz is Raimunda, a hard-working woman with a teenage daughter, Paula (Yohana Cobo), and a feckless, layabout husband.

Volver, (in English, Coming Home or Coming Back), is a gripping melodrama inspired by the trash TV that is a soundtrack to its characters' lives. Cruz's beauty appears in an altogether different love-context: that of a mother's passionate love for her daughter. There is something so playful and gorgeous about it, and certainly something gorgeous about PenГ©lope Cruz: although the film is notable in that romantic love is quite irrelevant.

This new film, being more modest in its scope, and somehow less obviously extravagant, achieves more with its rhetorical flourishes and narrative display. His last two films, Bad Education and Talk To Her, were impressive, though I never quite felt the unconditional rapture of the true AlmodГіvar believer. I found myself floating right along with them. The picture's ingenuities and contrivances just seem to float out of the screen, like psychedelic moodshapes. Volver seemed guilelessly wonderful when I first saw it earlier this year in Cannes. W ith its overwhelming richness, its colour and warmth, Pedro AlmodГіvar's new movie is set to capture your heart.
