Wild Tales

Pedro Almodovar has a new film out--Wild Tales--about revenge. He has a very dark sense of humour so the experience of watching the film is that guilty feeling of laughing at something that is actually kind of horrible. I loved his film Talk to Her, which I don't remember being funny at all but lovely.

This was a Meet Up event so we went to a bar afterward with four other people who saw the film. In the bathroom was a poster with photos of a blonde woman and a heading that said something like: "Ten years on, Lisa is still on your mind. Do the right thing, call the PSNI emergency number." I asked the Meet Up people what that was all about. They said it was a famous murder case that was never solved. It was a paramilitary murder and the police are trying to flush out a lead. What an interesting thing to see in the bathroom of a posh hotel bar. It was like being in another movie.
