Ricky is released from a mental hospital, and knows exactly what he wants to do. He hunts down Marina, a porn film star he once had sex with, and tries to convince her to be his wife. She is a bit reluctant, so he ties her up. Will this approach endear him to her? Written by Colin Tinto <[email protected]>
Atame! is my favorite Almodovar film. A lot of people don't think it is incredibly great, but I have to disagree.
Although Talk to Her is probably his most accomplished & strongest film to date, Atame has a light comedic air without the tragic overtones of his latest films. The movie provides some insight into the film-making process a la Fellini. It also deals with psychological imprisonment, release, and how some forms of entrapment are preferable to others.
Both leads are great, and it's easy to see how Banderas' charisma led him to be such a well known actor in later years.
Highly recommended.
