A film full of emotions caused by stress and depression for many people. This is a movie about those people. Vulnerable in the face of a reality that shifts and suddenly turns unpredictable with dark humor in which some characters suffered undeniable pleasure of losing control trough madness.From the Argentine writer-director Damián Szifron who is expert in black comedy all the cast Liliana Ackerman, Luis Manuel Altamirano García, Alejandro Angelini, and more, were the best in this genre. This great film includes 6 Stories – 6 masterpieces! They perfectly combine thriller, drama, humor and the common topic is the violence. Each history is independent of the other, but all of them have something special that makes you really enjoy. All of them don’t have a weak point.
It’s clear that Szifrón has Almodóvar’s influence with satirize, social classes, justice, bureaucracy and marriage sensibility.
Definitely is very psychological movie full of revenge with some violence but in 122 minutes with compilation films, certain episodes (all are of different lengths) work better than others even all of them have sarcasm, dark humor sense but all the performances are very well structured and all the characters themselves to push them towards the abyss, making it as the best terrific Argentinean film.

In the new comedy by Pedro Almodóvar, a very mixed group of travelers are in a life-threatening situation on board a plane flying to Mexico City.
A technical failure has endangered the lives of the people on board Peninsula Flight 2549. The pilots are striving, along with their colleagues in the Control Center, to find a solution. The flight attendants and the chief steward are atypical, baroque characters who, in the face of danger, try to forget their own personal problems and devote themselves body and soul to the task of making the flight as enjoyable as possible for the passengers, while they wait for a solution. Life in the clouds is as complicated as it is at ground level, and for the same reasons, which could be summarized in two: sex and death.
In press conference Pedro Almodovar said: “This is absolutely a master piece because it has special characters and a wonderful actress and 1963 look was very important to this production. Espana del destape in which everything was freedom.”
“I was very happy because it was intense in many scenes were unique where happiness was extreme with all passengers. Then they decided to change some flirting with some passengers especially for the title of this movie. Light comedy is very important with quality and homosexuality was important for the comedy lack of loneliness and to take care of each other.”
This is the typical comedy that recaptures all types of audience with a high humor from 1970’s influence and based on the modern society from Spain in these days. It is a movie full of magic moments despite the common laughs at certain point; most people were dead silent watching while I was laughing with clever humor whereas this just serves up some repetitive well trod clichés. This is one of the reasons that Pedro Almodovar’s films are always controversial.
