Must see: Almodovar’s Julieta
Watching Julieta reminded me what an unbelievable storyteller Pedro Almodovar is. His films have the best roles for women of all ages, and this is no exception. The story of a middle-aged woman reliving her past to understand why her daughter disappeared from her life, it has humour, pathos, intrigue and some ravishing costumes courtesy of Dior.
I can’t lie though, my favourite moments were with the inimitable Rossy de Palma as you’ve never seen her before. As a dour-faced, curly-wigged frump, but owing it all the way! Do honour this with a proper cinema visit, it deserves the full popcorn-and-soda treatment.

I LOVED this film too! Absolute favourite look was the young Julieta on the train…….sooo Hazel O’Connor with that hair, I was right back in the eighties for a blissful moment!

Actually, I liked the way they shows the passing of time with fashion, the 90s Prada-esque moment was cool too!
