¿Qué He Hecho Yo para Merecer Esto? plot

"The Hell of Home."

Gloria lives with her family in a concrete block in Madrid. She works working days of 18 hours. Because her husband Antonio earns too little as a taxi driver, Gloria not only has to take care of the household and their two sons, 12-year-old lazy girl Miguel and 14-year-old drug dealer Toni, but also clean other people. Gloria's marriage has fallen into a listless state; she can no longer afford a new haircut. Antonio, on the other hand, has a relatively pleasant life. When he meets his former love again and demands a smooth-ironed shirt, Gloria's patience runs out.

Beautiful film Still lacks the beautiful drama of a Todo Sobre Mi Madre, but for the rest it can stand next to it. Beautiful characters, a beautiful magical-realistic touch and hilarious moments (that commercial for coffee ) Despite all the chaos and implausibility, the film also touched me. I only missed a clear story, it indeed comes across as very confused and although that works charmingly, it weakens the film. Nice guest role by Almodovar himself, by the way, as an opera singer. I'm not going to list highlights of this movie, it would take too long, but I had a lot of fun

Bit of a disappointment this Almodóvar, which could hardly captivate me. The exaggerated comic elements constantly undermine the drama (for example, the housewife's routine), leaving a fairly meaningless comedy. A '13 in a dozen' movie that won't stay with me for long. A meager 2.5*.

The story of housewife Gloria and her family in which she struggles with herself, with 'being a woman', with money, with values, with happiness, ... Most scenes also continue in the apartment, Gloria's world. It feels oppressive with the whole family in such a small space. And yet so much happens in that small place.

It wouldn't be an Almodovar film if there wasn't room for absurd situations and colorful characters alongside the dramatic story of the housewife. A film from its early days and made with less budget and experience. But it fits well with the story. He has since made much better films, but those who love his style will undoubtedly enjoy it.
