The TVI Take
Almodóvar's 2011 plastic-surgeon-experiments-on-captive psychological thriller anchored by Antonio Banderas and Elena Anaya. The structural commitment to letting the eventual reveal of the captive's identity be the film's central moral material — and the willingness to render gender, identity, and bodily autonomy questions without easy answers — is the director's most-controversial late-career work and his most-formally-ambitious thriller.
