  :( yeesh

  CRAZY!! That the two women on this cover are non-characters in this film. When looked at through the male gaze we become Benigno and Marco and that feels gross and icky, as we should. But when viewed as a resistant spectator (as Manthia Diawara used the term) we are stay objects, puppets, bait to bring the nonresistant audience in. Very Almódovar. Much to think about.
