Boston Latino TV film critic Tim Estiloz reviews "Broken Embraces", the newest film by acclaimed director Pedro Almodovar. In this tragic story, a gifted filmmaker, Mateo Blanco writes, lives and loves in darkness. Fourteen years before, he was in a brutal car crash on the island of Lanzarote. In the accident, he not only lost his sight, he also lost Lena, the love of his life... played to perfection by Penelope Cruz. The story of Mateo, Lena, and Lena's jealous and abusive former lover, Ernesto Martel is a tale of tragic love dominated by jealousy, treachery, revenge... and ultimately, hope. "Broken Embraces" is an emotionally moving story, the most expressive image of which is the photo of two lovers embracing, torn into a thousand pieces.
Good movie.
