I'm going to go ahead and say it, Pedro Almodovar is one of the greatest directors of the past 20 years. I dunno how a Spanish gay dude can write and direct for some of the most fantastic female characters, but he does.

Anyhoo...Almodovar's latest film, Broken Embraces, finally has a trailer. Oh, wait, it's a teaser trailer. Well, shit. Can anyone figure out what the film's about based on this? Naw, us neither. Looks pretty though! (Here's looking at you Penelope Cruz.) And if Volver is any indication of Almodovar's rising caliber as a writer/director, we're gonna go ahead and get excited for it now. Thankssss...too bad it won't come out in the US til November. Poop.
