If you loved What Have I Done to Deserve This?, try High Heels
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Pedro Almodóvar, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to What Have I Done to Deserve This?, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What High Heels is
Almodóvar does his best Douglas Sirk. A famous singer returns to Madrid and stirs things up with her news anchor daughter and the daughter's rather feckless husband. It’s all glossy melodrama until someone gets shot. Everyone looks fabulous, even when they're in jail.
