- A man writes, lives and loves in darkness. Fourteen years before, he was in a brutal car crash on the island of Lanzarote. In the accident, he not only lost his sight, he also lost Lena, the love of his life.
This man uses two names: Harry Caine, a playful pseudonym with which he signs his literary works, stories and scripts, and Mateo Blanco, his real name, with which he lives and signs the film he directs. After the accident, Mateo Blanco reduces himself to his pseudonym, Harry Caine. If he cant direct films he can only survive with the idea that Mateo Blanco died on Lanzarote with his beloved Lena.
In the present day, Harry Caine lives thanks to the scripts he writes and to the help he gets from his faithful former production manager, Judit García, and from Diego, her son, his secretary, typist and guide.
Since he decided to live and tell stories, Harry is an active, attractive blind man who has developed all his other senses in order to enjoy life, on a basis of irony and self-induced amnesia. He has erased from his biography any trace of his first identity, Mateo Blanco.
One night Diego has an accident and Harry takes care of him (his mother, Judit, is out of Madrid and they decide not to tell her anything so as not to alarm her). During the first nights of his convalescence, Diego asks him about the time when he answered to the name of Mateo Blanco, after a moment of astonishment Harry cant refuse and he tells Diego what happened fourteen years before with the idea of entertaining him, just as a father tells his little child a story so that hell fall asleep.
The story of Mateo, Lena, Judit and Ernesto Martel is a story of amour fou, dominated by fatality, jealously, the abuse of power, treachery and a guilt complex. A moving and terrible story, the most expressive image of which is the photo of two lovers embracing, torn into a thousand pieces. - Розваги
So so sooo underrated! Almodovar and Cruz both outdid themselves on this one.
Penelope Cruz and Almodovar, I die!!!!
I literally sobbed while watching this trailer. I need to see this.
Brilliant film. Heartbreaking. Beautiful. Penelope Cruz is always perfection.
Nobody cheats like Penelope Cruz
While watching the film, I was like, 'WTF Judit?!' So many damn secrets.
I love Broken Embraces, but PA's movies must be challenging to make trailers for. They can't give away too much, because the surprises of the plots are key, so the challenge is to "suggest" what seeing the movie is like without laying bare the bones too much. But then it's easy to err on the side of vagueness...which I think this one does. At least there's Iglesias's beautiful music, and Cruz's beautiful face.
When this movie first came out, I was too young to watch it
I hope you have seen this by now. I think it is an excellent film. I have recommended it to many people. :)
This was a good film. Penelope Cruz is amazing in Spanish movies, bewitching even, a Spanish Audrey Hepburn if you will. I used to consider her a dreadful actress, until I saw her in "Volver" and then followed her work in older Spanish films and Broken Embraces. Now I'd rather not see anything by her in Hollywood. She loses herself. That Pirates of the Caribbean trailer makes me cringe, I'm not gonna see it, I dont want my image of her tainted again. Plus a 4th sequel is WAY too much for me.
El mejor de Almodovar, lo maximo...
Beautiful film!! I was basically glued to the screen the entire time.
I’ve never seen this one is it that good?
I loved Penelope and Johnny Depp in BLOW. She blew my mind here and followed hr since!
Favorite movie. Almodovar knows how to make a trailer !!
Great film
I'll watch this film only for Penelope, I love her
I liked this film a lot!
great movie

@christiankinney Of Star Wars.
@Holygrail2 I agree it gives very little away, but I do not agree that it's incredibly intriguing, or even intriguing for that matter. Penelope Cruz looks unbelievably hot, that's about all the intrigue I got from the trailer. Having said that, it is an Almodovar film, so I'm sure it's very good. I just think the trailer sucks.

"El Sabor de tu Boca" by Alberto Iglesias
Where can i see these full movie plz can anybody tell me.
Hbo go
Epic movie,much better than the previous movie volver
@tyronekubrick You probably just have bad memory.
Unfortunately Pedro has lost his magic touch since Volver smh...
Yuan Blaine this movie is sublime , pain and glory seems pretty promising!
He lost it with "Los amantes pasajeros", "Julieta" and "Madres paralelas", but this one was very good.

You're just trolling right? I find it hard to believe anyone could actually think Broken Embraces is a Star Wars rip off. If you are sincere, could you explain? I honestly don't see the parallel.
Is it just me or is this film really forgettable? I saw this in a theater when it was released about two years ago and I can't remember a fucking thing. I don't remember hating it though.
Yes, it is just you.
