  • Great movie ,I hope someday almodovar will make a movie in hollywood or a movie in english

  • @folladordeprostis he is planning on making a film that takes place in NYC

  • I'm not going to EVER see Planet of the Apes how many damn videos that trailer is attatched to, it's starting to piss me off.

  • this is ok movie..watched the full movie in webmovietube for free

  • What is the song in the background?

  • @Miangierv werewolf by catpower

  • Great movie,much better than the overrated all about my mother

  • I 100% agree with the highest rated comments.

    As the wonderful Jean-Luc Godard himself stated:

    I pity the American Cinema because it has no ideas.

    Long live Pedro Almodovar! Looking forward to his two new films!

  • I think the teleprompter reader was just repeating (poorly) what someone said in a comments section somewhere. I seriously doubt it was her opinion. 

    Who knows where the commenter lived? Perhaps he or she is even from the capital of sanctimony - Canada? But please, let's not let that get in the way of vickshizzle puking up some tired, worn-out, baseless anti-Americanism.

    Two thumbs down on that "highest rated comment", and 5 zillion stars for this glorious movie.

  • I think the announcer woman was a sanctimonious pompous wreck of a human being.

  • Comment removed

  • sanctomonius pompous wreck of a movie.... wtf hahaha yep that's what i thought :P

  • why oh why do people generalize and entire country is beyond me. "Americans have no idea what a good movie is." if they like blockbusters with no plot why does it matter to you? People have different tastes but only one type of moviewatcher thinks they're "better" than the others.

  • @bobb328 yes, and the other type of moviewatchers simply don't think period.

  • @hjalmarChristiansson Well if it's what they like then leave it be. No need to say an entire country doesn't know what they like. Tarkovsky was a fan of The Terminator and if you've seen a Tarkovsky film he's one of the most challenging directors to watch. It just goes to show everyone has their own opinion.

  • YoSoyZuri,

    yeah, a jewel with a character that's a whore for no logical reasons.

    it would have been a jewel if almodovar weren't gagged and bound to serve the penelope "star" vehicle to nowhere.

  • Broken Embraces!! Another jewel!!

  • clever story of sabotage of an actress and director - only to a point. a producer could never get away with that on his own. it would have to come from the studio because that's THEIR LOGO on the film.

    still, spanish sensibilities about women and the world are undigestable. what woman with two professions have a need to be a whore?

    inexplicable. cruz is not a smart woman. and the idea that she should deserve an award for simply crying on cue is just as ridiculous - her only "skill".

  • I'm glad I watched the movie before the bimbo at the beginning of this gave away half the plot.

  • I saw a some Almadovar's movies..a few people ask me why you wached it, him movies are boring? but for me every film is diffrent but similar. Him style is recognizable and of course often with the same main actress P. Cruz but I very like this kind movie, very very diffrent than for example americans predictable action .. almadovar is unique director than other and always shown real art scene just like a girl's tear on tomato in "broken emraces"..love feel art..good selection of music and fable

  • Im sorry but this movie was so booooring.

    And Penelope Cruz has to be the most overated actress ever (maybe apart from Nicole-plasticface- Kidman)

    Ariadna Gil, Maribel Verdú, VICORIA ABRIL, CARMEN MAURA!! Those are great performers.

    Pene has really good contacts, not so much talent.

  • @belledejour72 -If you think Nicole Kidman is over-rated, then watch Moulin Rouge. I think she's one of the few real actresses out there. :) just my opinion, though.

  • @VeronicaIzzard nichole kidman is amazing. just watch the hours. Penelope is also great, but in spanish cinema. su rostro irradia algo especial. una honestidad y un sentimiento increibles

  • @belledejour72 She is overrated but still good,this movie is great,maybe you are a transformers or twilight fan

  • To every body commenting on the bottom,Penelope Cruz isn't latin,she's from Spain which is located in Europe. She's an incredible actress but americans only know the crap films she's made in the US.you guys should watch Belle Epoque,All about my mother, Open your eyes, Live flesh and she was good in Volver too.

  • cruz is much better as a spanish actress, when she speaks english, there is something strangely unnatural in her acting

  • how almodovar turned dirty: the brownsploitation bimbo project.

    american audiences are being scammed to fudge the popularity numbers. they're shelving it in regular english language films and titling it "broken embraces" instead of its real spanish title.

  • a love story, a tragedy.........complex and beautifully told

  • You people are tryng to understand Almodovarwith a Hollywood mentality... That way you will NEVER get it. Hollywood movies are comercials and easy to swallow. Almodovar will never be that simple, you have to see beyond the storyline.

  • hmm it looks like a very deep and moving film. a little on the subtle side than it is Hollywoodized. I'm not sure I get the plot since I didn't see any car crash. To me, this is just a movie about a young woman who wants to act and she deserts her old husband for a younger and a more supportive one. Penelope looks pretty ok in it. I personally am more of a fast paced person so watching it made me feel a lingering sadness. Not sure if I want to go to a movie to be more depressed. . .

  • Wow. I can feel the antagonism towards Americans. Not every downloading/bootleg gimmick you see on the internet is created by an American. To say such a ridiculous thing is a wide and undeserved generalization. I have never once seen a bootleg dvd, and I think it's horrible. On a lighter note...Penelope Cruz is my amazing actress! Can't wait to see this movie!

  • DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS!!! This film is a piece of art buy it on DVD and cherish it. Typical American comments they have no idea what a film is...

  • Would you think it to be an accurate generalization to say that all Brits are douchebags on the interenet just because you are?

  • @FreeBirdStone Actually i'm from US and I know the majority of us suck at knowing what a film or even art is...

  • @Sengunonline why are they american ? you do know there just spammers

  • I really enjoyed this film. Very stylish. The tv presenter obviously did not see the film to make such an obvious error about the wife being in a car crash.

  • This dipshits only comment on tits but this film was definitely a work of art.

    A beautiful story of broken embraces that revolves lust, love and passion.

    Pedro almodovar was brilliant at crafting this incredible thourght-provoking story.

    I was mesmerized! You must watch this!

  • @Isaiasm2006

    i'm sure it is good. but i won't see anything with penelope cruz in it. when she was an unimportant chick in the film's cast, i didn't care if i had to watch her.

    once she became the award winning brownsploitation screen bimbo, all bets were off and he's going to have to live with the consequences of what cruz has done to the profession and to latinas.

  • @MsThunderroad

    lol. you're saying she has degraded the portrayal of latinas in film?

  • @MsThunderroad what the fuck are you talking about? Penelope Cruz is from Europe, she is not a "latina". Do you assume that all Spanish speaker are "latinos"? Spain is a european country and it's people are of the same stock as most southern europeans...they look like Italians in the south and like the French in the north...do some traveling please!

  • @thekingofmoney2000 I´m Spanish I went on holiday over there (Ohio) and they asked me if I was a "wet back" cause "Spain is in Mexico, isnt it?"

    And as you say, I dont consider myself Latin but European.

  • I think you are stupid. Please watch the movie first...

  • this woman does not know what she's talking about. "a man who looses his wife and sight"? um, lena and mateo never got married. americans are funny...

  • ha ha i was thinking the same thin and she gives way too much away 2

  • we are.. that's why we bring you foreigners the best comedies. hehehe lol

    not wife but lena was his love.

  • movie was not very good except can see penelope cruz naked. Great eyes and legs for 37 yr old. Breasts r only ok. thought they'd look nicer. Still i wdnt thro her out of bed.

  • I forgot to add the cameral work was first rate. Penelope has best eyes since Sophia loren, but i think id hv to give the young sophia the edge in the tit department

  • est ce je peu brassee les cartes?

  • i love this movie,,,,,....itza must c for right handed humans with the ability to sit n stare for hours. i give it a 2 thumbzup. her english is good 4 a damn foreigner. i wonder if she has her green card......

  • happy thanksgiving~!,,,,.......have a good one...........when i'm gnawing on a chicken bone i'll be thinking of u

  • Amazing movie, definitely a must see.

  • Cruz is the Muse!

    Penelope is perfect in Almodovar films: Nothing wrong with Vicki Cristina Barcellona (in which she was great) but when she's in an all-Spanish film she really comes into her own.

    I was more excited by Volver than this latest one - but this latest one is brilliant in every way, which just shows how monumental Volver was. Oh and Penelope, lots of people in Britain would pronounce dinghy with a hard G.

  • i dont get it was the point of the whole movie.....does it mean she is livin a double life....sucks....8P

  • Almodovar never ceases to amaze. He only gets better. He is a master at capturing and depicting the subtle nuances of human emotion and the human experience. His insight into the human condition only deepens and expands as does his craft of making films. I am very much looking forward to watching this movie.

  • How's the song playing called?

  • Werewolf by Cat Power =P

  • Muchas gracias ;)

  • one of my favourites by maestro

  • I love Almodovar so much!All his shots were great in this movie!

  • Almodovar is the finest of directors. He has the power to make the outrageous seem quite common place and that we are the ones at odds with the world, not his characters.

  • I loved it all the way

  • that song in the background sounds familiar..anyone know the name of it?

  • Werewolf by Cat Power.

  • Thanks :)

  • A mais linda mulher da atualidade.

  • My Spanish teacher has told us all to go see this, I've heard some bad reviews for it though, is it worth the money?

  • I would go see Almodovar no matter what!

  • yeah, you should see "Volver" i think is the best represetation of penelope in a movie!

  • Almodovar always worths the money...

  • i've just watched this film

    good movie

    however , to compare with almodovar's previous work such as volver, talk to her or all about my mother, i think this film is a little bit dissapointing.

    BTW, i love many scenes in this movie. it's beautiful

  • I have not seen it but I agree.

  • Spain Film Academy has decided not to include this film as one of three films it has presented to represent Spain for Best Foreign Film Oscar.

  • penelope cruz was made for the screen what a beautiful human being!

  • luv penelope cruz.:!

    another oscar nominee!

  • Can't wait!!!

  • I cant wait to see Cruz in this and Nine!

  • this will be a sanctimonious, pompous wreck of a movie!

  • 1:03 oh my god she looked like audrey hepburn

  • thts wat i thought to sooo much lik her ther!!

  • yay cat power

  • This really spoiled the clip for me, it just gave all of the narrative away! ..and that ending, 'sanctimonious, pompous wreck of a movie' - The American masses wouldn't know what a good movie looked like if it jumped up and bit them on the arse! Two words: Spoon fed.

  • Can anyone tell me the name of the song that begins at 1:18 ?

  • it's called "Werewolf " by cat power

  • werewolf by cat power

  • OMG! I can't wait!

  • Anything Almodavar touches is gold....

  • Wow. Magnificent.

  • almodovar is a God given genius of cinema! Every single film he has ever done transport you to another world. Its what a real movie going experiance is all about. I'll be the first in line for this feature! VIVA, ALMODOVAR!!!!!!

  • I'm sure it will be another good movie by Almodovar. The trailers for his films are meant to confuse the audience. Any new ideas in film are better than the usual "quick money" trash that comes out of Hollywood that so many pay to see. This one, you will have to use your brain.

  • Even though this movie seems a bit pointless being that I cannot understand exactly what is going on...I would rather watch it then sit for five minutes watching the likes of New Moon...

    I swear...I would rather watch this movie without subtitles then watch that piece of crap...

    In fact I would rather scoop my eyeballs out with a spoon and glue them to my ass then watch anything related to the Twlight series...

  • hahah twilight is horrible!

  • As soon as I heard the plot the first thing that came to my mind was that there is NO way this could be a good movie.

  • wats the name of the song at  1:30

  • werewolf ... cat power :)

  • EEN HIT ...

  • umm...what just happened?

  • That trailer was useless and even with Joslyn setting it up, Im still confused. Definitely not going to see this.

  • if joslyn didn't explain what the movie was about i'd think it was crap

  • thank god that i know spanish (bcuz i hate reading subtiles) & its looks GAYYYY !

  • Not worth watching.

    I think i would rather prefer sleeping.

    Mahesh India

  • i would definatly NOT go see that.

  • I don't really get it.

  • the girl looks like she is should have a unabrow

  • wtf are you talking about she is should? wtf is that?

  • omg great soundtrack! great Penelope i have to see this movie!

  • Grown up themes that are a bit over the heads of most viewers here I suspect, in true euro auteur fashion. Too much navel-gazing from Almodovar, and not enough heart to keep you engaged. Cruz was great and it looks good but without a punchy story that feels like it goes somewhere it seems wasted. One for the art critics more than movie goers.

  • Comment removed

  • Movie looks to be pretty lame. I couldn't find a story in it.

  • the movie comes out november 20 new moon comes out november 21 so itz not on the same day!!!!!!11

  • twilight came out the 21st. new moon comes out the 20th

  • lame and horrible

  • LAME!!!!!!

  • LAME

  • HORRIBLE.

  • lame.

  • I Like Penelope Cruz but on that day I am going to watch New Moon...and I will probably go watch it a couple of times at the theatre with different friends...

  • lame

  • they arnt gonna have it the same day as new moon. the last harry potter movie was supposed to come out the same day as twilight, but they moved it because they though no one would watch it because of twilight.

  • I would've gone seen ti instead of new moon.

  • That's not true. Twilight's release date was originally in December and Warner Bros. moved HP, because they already had a huge year with Dark Knight and didn't have a blockbuster movie for this summer and didn't want so much time between HBP and DH. It wasn't until after HP moved that Twilight took the prime Thanksgiving spot. HP has already made way more than Twilight.

  • uh, ok, like i care. what do you ean thanksgiving? it's in october.

  • hey umm its not gonna be so good in the box office because it comes out the same day new moon does.

    im just sayin.

  • true

  • hmm intresting
