1. • • On the surface, Parallel Mothers is an engaging melodrama centred around a fabulous performance by Penélope Cruz. But, as is typical of Pedro Almodóvar’s movies, this easygoing, entertaining film is deeply layered, dealing with issues of personal morality and family ties, mixed with a reminder of Spain’s dark and not-so-distant fascist past.

   What does 'parallel mothers' tell us about American politics?

   Is 'parallel mothers' a sad song?

   Does the heroine of parallel mothers live under the shadow of Raimunda?

   • Raimunda is a being of such hard-earned wisdom and complexity that she seems to contain universes within that puffed-up beehive of hers.
