And On Sundays We Rest.
Curious Inspiration. High Heels is a 1991 melodrama film written and directed by Pedro Almodóvar and starring Marisa Paredes, Victoria Abril and Miguel Bosé. The plot follows the fractured relationship between a self-involved mother who is a famous torch song singer and the grown daughter she had abandoned as a child. The daughter, who works as TV newscaster, has married her mother’s ex-lover and has befriended a female impersonator. A murder further complicates this web of relationships. In this pivotal scene, the mother sings “Piensa en Mi” (Think of Me) as she mourns her daughter in prison. High camp indeed, as only the Spanish are capable of. Enjoy.
