LAST SESSIONS!

Ravishing in its artifice and outfitted with all of Pedro Almodóvar’s stylistic tricks, this sensuous tale of desire, power, duplicity and fate is steeped in noir conventions and good humour.

This superbly entertaining love-story-cumflashback-mystery is a lavish, very Spanish dance of life and death.
