Sad Girl Cinema Club: Volver
Sat, Nov 14 · 3:15 PM Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Crystal City
VOLVER is a tale of three generations of women in Spain: sisters Sole (Lola Dueñas) and Raimunda (Pénelope Cruz); the mother of the two women (Carmen Maura), who passed away in a fire alongside her husband; and Raimunda’s teenage daughter, Paula (Yohana Cobo). When Sole, Raimunda, and Paula return to their village to take care of their parents’ graves, they are forced to face a past they were trying to outrun. Director Pedro Almodóvar’s zany and heartfelt film that tackles love, loss, and forgiveness is one of a kind. He showcases his ability to bring levity to even the darkest of tales, and with Cruz at his helm, VOLVER is a special film that’s feminine and bright.
