Broken Embraces - Official Trailer!

A man 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.

This man uses two names: Harry Caine, a playful pseudonym with which he signs his literary works, stories and scripts, and Mateo Blanco, his real name, with which he lives and signs the film he directs. After the accident, Mateo Blanco reduces himself to his pseudonym, Harry Caine. If he cant direct films he can only survive with the idea that Mateo Blanco died on Lanzarote with his beloved Lena.

In the present day, Harry Caine lives thanks to the scripts he writes and to the help he gets from his faithful former production manager, Judit García, and from Diego, her son, his secretary, typist and guide.

Since he decided to live and tell stories, Harry is an active, attractive blind man who has developed all his other senses in order to enjoy life, on a basis of irony and self-induced amnesia. He has erased from his biography any trace of his first identity, Mateo Blanco.
One night Diego has an accident and Harry takes care of him (his mother, Judit, is out of Madrid and they decide not to tell her anything so as not to alarm her). During the first nights of his convalescence, Diego asks him about the time when he answered to the name of Mateo Blanco, after a moment of astonishment Harry cant refuse and he tells Diego what happened fourteen years before with the idea of entertaining him, just as a father tells his little child a story so that hell fall asleep.

The story of Mateo, Lena, Judit and Ernesto Martel is a story of amour fou, dominated by fatality, jealously, the abuse of power, treachery and a guilt complex. A moving and terrible story, the most expressive image of which is the photo of two lovers embracing, torn into a thousand pieces.

One of the most perfectly constructed trailers I've ever seen. It gives very little away and it's incredibly intriguing. And great music too!

The depth of European cinema, wow



[tyronekubrick]

Is it just me or is this film really forgettable? I saw this in a theater when it was released about two years ago and I can't remember a fucking thing. I don't remember hating it though.

@M73Kevin What film does this rip off?

[christiankinney]

@M73Kevin Lol oh. I didn't really get that from the film. Nothing is original tbh.

@christiankinney Of Star Wars.

@M73Kevin Of what film?

[Qoontz]

@Holygrail2 I agree it gives very little away, but I do not agree that it's incredibly intriguing, or even intriguing for that matter. Penelope Cruz looks unbelievably hot, that's about all the intrigue I got from the trailer. Having said that, it is an Almodovar film, so I'm sure it's very good. I just think the trailer sucks.

Another ripped off piece of shit
