I’m So Excited<br />
Los amantes pasajeros<br />
Fri 10 – Thu 23 May<br />
After a spate of films that saw him explore darker, more labyrinthine narratives, acclaimed Spanish filmmaker Pedro<br />
Almodóvar returns to lighter territory with I’m So Excited, a sky-high melodrama littered with colourful characters,<br />
lively dance sequences and all the sex, desire, passion and death you can dream of.<br />
A technical failure aboard Peninsula Flight 2549 has endangered the lives of everyone aboard, from the outlandish flight<br />
crew to the mysterious assortment of passengers. In an attempt to avoid mass hysteria while a free runway is located,<br />
the flight attendants (played with vigour by Javier Camara, Carlos Areces and Raul Arevalo), using their eccentric<br />
personalities and all the alcohol at their disposal, do what they can to make the flight as enjoyable for everyone on<br />
board as possible.<br />
Featuring a cast of new and returning actors (Cecilia Roth and Lola Duenas are both on top form), Almodóvar has<br />
concocted an intoxicating thrill-ride that delivers in amusement while also providing a faint critique of the Spanish<br />
government’s powers over its people. Though not as deep or as challenging as his previous films, I’m So Excited<br />
provides wild enjoyment in the moment and reminds us fondly of Almodóvar’s more playful side.<br />
