Witness the increasing promise of Pedro Almodóvar, in a film that has gone
largely unnoticed in his career but stands as a worthy and mostly mainstream
entry into his unique style of twisted relationship movies. Live Flesh is
uncommonly convoluted as a setup -- involving a love triangle between a cop
that was shot and paralyzed, the man who shot him, and a girl -- but pretty
straightforward in the delivery. Some of the erotic imagery is unforgettable.
The film itself is less so, but still a worthwhile experience.
Aka Carne trémula.
