The women scores, and so does Penelope
Volver is a movie centering on women, for the woman.

Volver (pronounced Bol-ber in Spanish) means “Return”. The theme “return” revolves around the film. Three generations of women: The granny (Carmen Maura) returning from the dead, the mother Raimunda (Penelope Cruz) returning from her discordant life, and daughter (Yohana Cobo) recovering from abuse from her step father.

Penelope Cruz is colorful and affecting playing Raimunda, probably her best role to date. This role will assure others of her capability to act, napping several Best Actresses nominations to date. She may have lost the Oscars to the Queen, but she won’t be just known as the ex-girlfriend of Tom Cruise.

This is a culturally rich movie which brings us to the back alleys of Spain, looking at lives from the rich to the poor. The cinematography is vibrant as well, as the screen is littered with the rich tomatoes, floral dresses and a top-angle view of Penelope Cruz assets. All done on purpose and beautifully definitely.

There are many ‘woman’ issues – from motherhood, single hood, sister hood, self worth and independence. Male actors are almost non-existence, playing only bit parts and there is no hint of any impending love stories. Perhaps this is also why I didn’t identify much with this movie. For the males, do not worry as Volver isn’t any soapy melodrama. With its twists and fun, it is still an enjoyable comedy about second chances.

Exciting and different
VOLVER started rather slowly and I advise you to wade through this slower portion and be patient. This slower portion is necessary to set up the characters as well as where the film will be going later.

The film begins with Penelope Cruz and her daughter and sister going to the cemetery to clean the grave of their mother and father–a tradition in this part of Spain. From there, they go to visit a senile aunt and they marvel that in spite of the aunt’s mind slipping, she seems amazingly well fed and the house is in order—like there is some sort of guardian angel watching over her. There is so much more to the plot than this–things such as murder, adultery and a seeming resurrection from the dead. However, if I get any more specific it might ruin the suspense, so I’ll just say that the plot becomes very involved with lots of great twists and turns.

One potential negative some might have about this film is that the men in it are big dumb jerks. However, for this film it did fit the plot and it’s not like every film we watch is like that, so I could let go of this.

But on the positive side, the writing and direction are exceptional as is the acting. There really isn’t much I would change about this wonderful film (except perhaps edit out a few choice things a prostitute says to Cruz later in the film–this is VERY adult). Still, for a Pedro Almodóvar film, it’s much less adult and is one you could allow your teens to watch.
