La ribelle

Actually it's like Almodovar MADE Pénélope. Despite some of their movies are just crap, Pénélope was also a very talented actress before their meeting and like Open your eyes, this one is excellent.

Péné plays a young italian woman in rebellion (OK, that's the title): because she is a thief, instead of being sent to prison, she is sent to church service, which is as strict, with maybe more feminine compassion.

So here she learns life: she discovers joy, love and falls again. This is a movie of hope and redemption and Péné's moods can express freely and rigthly... without Almodovar!

Very good film indeed, with Enza's searching for love, and founding it at last in the baby who grows inside. This is the first movie I saw made for Aurelio Grimaldi, but certainly I like it.Penélope Cruz offers a great actuation, good for her.
