I’m being told that Pedro Almodovar’s “Strange Way of Life,” which just screened at Cannes, will probably be packaged for theatrical release with Almodovar’s 1988 classic, “Woman on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.” That film is actually celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. It’s still my favorite Almodovar, a melodramedy of manners that’s part farce, part absurdism and still manages, at the same time, to be tragic. It’s a great time to re-release it.
As expected, Snyder's latest is being torn apart by TIFF attendees. No mercy given. The film, which had its world premiere this evening, is being called by some one of the worst movies to ever premiere at the festival.
