Pedro Almodóvar's latest film, Volver, was screened in a few suburban locations last month, but it has just opened on two screens at the E Street Cinema. Fans of the legendary Spanish director do not need a review to tell them to see this film. However, those who do not know Almodóvar's work, or who have had a bad experience with it, should give this excellent movie a chance. It has all of the positive qualities of his earlier films — the sometimes off-color humor; the idolization of the eternal feminine; the mixture of fantasy and reality; the flavor of Spain — just this time without the drag queens and transsexual prostitutes.
