Les Amants passagers

Une farce gay-parade prétendument drôle venant d’un cinéaste respecté qui, après le drame exigeant (et excellent) La piel que habito, avait besoin de se lâcher. Se lâcher avec de la coke ramenée clandestinement sur le plateau après avoir été dissimulée dans son propre arrière-train. Je n’arrive pas à trouver d’attribut plus juste et plus approprié que « merdique » en parlant de ce film. (15/05/2013)

My relationship to Pedro Almodóvar’s movies is like a seesaw. But I feel that with this film, he completely forgot that he wasn’t making movies only for himself but for his viewers as well. Already the first scene featuring Penélope Cruz and Antonio Banderas couldn’t have been more artificial. And that’s really hard for me to say this because otherwise I really like Penélope and Antonio. It’s a pity. (23/10/2016)

At the beginning were the legendary performances of Almodóvar's darlings, Antonio Banderas and Penélope Cruz, who otherwise classically star independently of each other in his films. After that, they were forgotten and the whole thing surprisingly culminated in the warmest comedy based on the song "I'm so excited." I don't have a problem with something like that, especially if it all ends so optimistically, my captain. ;) (26/02/2015)
