A film... Mmmm, eeeh, “Back” by Pedro Almodóvar (Volver, 2006)

I am not good to go to cinema, really I usually don't see films, but in this time I'm going to tell about "Back" (Volver), whose director and producer was Pedro Almodovar. He shot this film 2 year ago, in 2006.

The lead role is played by Penépelone Cruz as Raimunda, Carmen Maura as Irena and Yohana Cobo as Paula. This film is based on the incest thematic, as Raimunda's father abused her when she was child and her mother didn't know that until many years later. For this reason, Raimunda and Irene are alienated.

For to understand the film, it's necessary to explain the concept of incest, which is a type of child abuse and in the case of "Back" (Volver), focuses on a context known as filial - paternal incest, in which the father abuses his daughter (or a stepfather of his stepdaughter) and installs a sexual genital relationship with her that persists over time and is characterized by remaining silent.

Given the above, Raimunda still suffers from his past, which pursues her and makes to feel said and mistrustful of men.

A lot of stories happened between Raimunda, Irene and Paula that I don't tell you now because the film lost all interest, but I can reccomend it. Just I can say I didn't want my money back.

See you,

Bye.
