Pedro Almodovar capped his wonderful rough early indie period with the glossy WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN which mainstreamed him internationally. His next few films saw him trying too hard to top himself, but with FLOWER, even if it’s not much of a success, he purposefully made a major course correction and began to grow again. The passaggio seems relatively painless in this story about a writer of romantic page-turners who may no longer want to write trash, but finds her life conforming to the mold. It sounds just right for Almodovar, but the story doesn’t add up to much. His next film, the underrated CARNE TREMULA, would get him in touch with his new muse.
