I know I've posted the above poster for Pedro Aldmodovar's upcoming Bitter Christmas -- which has already come out in lots of places on "the continent" but which will be premiering here on "this continent" at TIFF and then NYFF -- before, because I fucking love that poster. That is a good looking poster, and I would like to buy a copy of it. Alas it seems they've switched over to the poster seen down below which is good, it's fine, I probably would've loved it more if I hadn't already seen the above superior poster. Also knowing this movie used to be called Autofiction, a much better title, makes me wonder what's going on with Pedro right now. You okay, friend?
Anyway while I've avoided any reviews of the film so far I have gotten the vague impression that reception to it has been cool -- have any of you fine folks seen it already? I know you're a worldly bunch. That said I'm pretty excited to be off to a press screening of this movie right this minute, so stay tuned. But if we're being honest the Pedro Almodovar thing I am most excited about this fall is Almodovar Art, the big fancy (and perhaps seriously over-priced) hardcover book that's hitting your local corner book-shop in just a few weeks! I keep checking to see if the price has dropped yet and nope -- it's almost 700 pages so I get the high price-point but come on, some of us Almodóvar fans are poors! I'm going to have to put on a bob wig and large sunglasses and shoplift this bitch under a red trenchcoat like a classic Almodovar character woulda.
