Broken Embraces (Los abrazos rotos) (2009)

This is a riddle wrapped up in a mystery in an enigma...

Why would a successful director land up as a blind writer working and living under an assumed name (“Harry Caine”)?

What happened to the bombshell actress from his last and greatest film, whose photo is kept in a dossier in his desk drawer?

Who is the mysterious stranger who commissions him to write a screenplay that he rejects, and what does that screenplay and that mysterious stranger have to do with the first two mysteries?

Unravel the mystery by reading my review at Fridae, first published on 12 May 2010.
