Alone throughout on screen, but taking up all its space in a parade of iridescent haute couture, Swinton plays a nameless, recently dumped woman, trying to talk her ex into reconciliation over the course of an increasingly frenzied phone call. In the process, she races through at least one mood per minute. Itâs a dizzying showcase for Swinton as an all-out screen diva â like Bette Davis drawn only in sharp angles â and merely watching her in full, abbreviated cry is a blast. Add Almodóvar on top of his formal game, and you see why maybe they had to make a short together rather than a feature: watching hours of this would be like eating six desserts at once.
