Is that all there is? That very well could be your reaction at the end of Todo sobre mi madre, renowned Spanish film director Pedro Almodóvar's latest effort. The film, which opened in late 1999 in the United States as All About My Mother and which won the Academy Award for best foreign-language film, seems upon first watching to be little more than a well-done, stylish soap opera. Like any soap, it is made up of out-of-nowhere tragedies, lies, and improbable coincidences. On the surface that seems to be all there is.
If that's your reaction, wait a day or two or three, and you may see the film differently. There is more, much more, here than melodrama.
