Pedro Almodóvar's new comedy “I'm So Excited” vertiginously disappointing.
Speaking of this article, it’s
necessary to say that "I’m So Excited!” is vertiginously disappointing in
the way only bad films from great filmmakers can be. Pedro Almodóvar’s 19th
feature is part prickly social satire. There, though, the combination is a
nightmare: a rich and oozy cheese platter generously seasoned with chalk.
In addition, the film is set almost
entirely on a Spanish passenger jet supposedly bound for Mexico
City , but which is in fact circling aimlessly at 30,000 ft above the Iberian Peninsula after a fault develops in the landing
gear. In business class sits a cross-section of the country’s great and
not-so-good: a crooked investment banker, a graying actor and Lothario, a
high-society call girl, and so on.
It’s important to point The Spanish
title is Los Amantes Pasajeros although the Pointer Sisters song that furnished
the film with its English name puts in an appearance as a lip-synched musical
number. There is a blood-curdling moment when you realise they really are going
to sing the whole damn thing: two verses, four choruses, and a middle eight
that feels about as long and draining as Tarkovsky’s Stalker.
To sum up, this is certainly a
change of pace from The Skin I Live In (2011) and Broken Embraces (2009): a
dollop of cappuccino froth to follow those films’ rich and bitter depths. It
shares some ideas with Almodóvar’s earlier comedies.
As for me, Plot details are being
kept under wraps, but it’s said to be set against a plane accident with various
characters fearing for their lives and confessing their inner secrets,
sometimes through song
The article should be rephrased.
