When Pedro Almodóvar sent Tilda Swinton the script, he asked her who should play Ingrid
Synopsis
Ingrid and Martha were close friends in their youth, when they worked together at the same magazine. After years of being out of touch, they met again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation..
Both of them had Julianne Moore in mind
Featured in The 7PM Project: Episode dated 8 September 2024 (2024). Despite its serious theme (Euthanasia) the film is supremely boring, disconnected and not emotionally involving at all.
The character played by Turturro is flat and uninteresting
I wonder how it could win the Golden Lion at Venice Film Festival. The interconnected stories just don't make any sense (see the gay Carmelite friars interpolation).
Come on Pedro, you can do better than this
The script sounds like political propaganda and it doesn't come from the heart. I'm not absolutely sure that Tilda Swinton was the best choice for this role but since The Human Voice she seems to feature in all of Almodovar's English language mpvies.
