Anecdotes
There was a poster for PARALLEL MOTHERS (Madres paralelas) over a decade ago in a scene of Almodóvar's Étreintes brisées (2009) (Broken Embraces). He was already working on the script and had made a poster.

Gaffes
(at around 1h 28 mins) After an argument with Ana in the kitchen, Janis leaves to go sit on the terrace. She sits down in the chair on the left (from viewer's perspective). When Ana walks towards her, Janis is sitting in the chair on the right.

Générique farfelu
The entirety of the credits appears on 35mm film that scrolls by, with red markings as if someone were reviewing each "picture."

Penelope Cruz, an incandescent presence

Almodovar's gift is to take a soap-opera storyline - two mothers and their babies - and give it a glossy sheen that makes it seem almost fresh. All the cast take their roles seriously. Penelope Cruz is the best of them; on screen she has an incandescence that reminds me of Sophia Loren's early films.

There's a background story in which Cruz's lover is trying to get permission to excavate the grave of some villagers savagely killed in the early years of the Civil War. I rather wish that this had been given more screen time. The final scene of this movie is nothing less than magnificent.
