I feel very fortunate this year that I was able to obtain a free membership at my beloved MOMA.. I can now watch "The Contenders" series free of charge!
Firstly, I have never seen a 30 minute feature film from Almodovar before.1 I was intrigued since it has one of my favorite stars TIlda Swinton. in it. I found out later that it was based on a play by Jean Couteau. It's not bad as a short film but why did Almodovar want to shoot a short feature with Tilda Swinton in the first place? Did he like Jean Couteau's play or was he simply interested in working with Swinton?
It's a one woman performance that obviously was unimaginable without Swinton.
I look forward to seeing many more films in this series.
Best Gift to Myself for 2020./2021!
