Racing for the Palme d'Or - Volver of Almodovar

Volver (to return, in Spanish) is short-listed for the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

Volver marks a return for Almodovar to his earlier fascinations. Back to comedy and female world, back to La Mancha, with its high rates of insanity. Should be great.

Starring Penelope Cruz, Carmen Maura, Lola Dueñas.

Washington Post:
The fantabulous French film festival here is like the Oscars, but different. In Cannes, some of the reporters wear hot pants (Cannes according to William Booth).
