Not sure if Julieta is still playing (or ever played) in the US, but if so, this would be a brilliant introduction to his work.Guilie Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006999087139126972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436812892124383603.post-279686911292681332017-10-04T11:54:28.538-04:002017-10-04T11:54:28.538-04:00It is, Hilary.

You probably meant Volver ("Revolver" is a Guy Ritchie movie, haha)—I loved it, too! This was only the second film we saw at the festival, though... I've taken procrastination to a whole new level for these reviews. At this rate, I won't be done reviewing them before next year's festival is here, hahaha.<br /><br />Thanks so much for the visit, Hilary! If/when you do see <i>Julieta</i>, I'd love to hear what you think.Guilie Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006999087139126972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436812892124383603.post-40514209423887888032017-10-03T18:06:49.962-04:002017-10-03T18:06:49.962-04:00This is the first I've heard of Julieta.

Which is not to say that he hasn't made some films that I like, but none of them have proven to be visionary or insightful in a way that I would call genius.<br /><br />I don't think I've seen any Almodovar. Maybe Volver?
