Almodovar

Pedro Almodovar is an expert in portraying women. He expresses the interactions and conflicts of his characters with delicate beauty and grace. In All about my mother, though the plot is not necessarily something everyone can relate to, but instead quite absurd, the characters are so developed and express emotions in such a way that allow the viewer to connect to them. The combination of the music and different angles adds to this.

In one of the beginning scenes, when Estevan is killed, the portrayal of what he would be seeing works great. It shows the tragic situation in a manner that is not commonly portrayed.
