Kika

About This Movie

Kika is a wild blend of dark humor and melodrama, characteristic of Almodóvar's style. The pacing feels chaotic at times, which suits the absurdity of the narrative. It tackles love and obsession, wrapped in a bizarre story that starts with a corpse—quite the icebreaker, right? The performances, especially from the lead, are striking; they're larger than life yet grounded. The practical effects, especially during the resurrection scene, add a layer of macabre charm that’s hard to shake off. The film revels in its eccentricities, creating a quirky atmosphere that might not be for everyone but definitely showcases Almodóvar's unique vision. It's a fascinating piece of work, full of twists, that keeps you guessing about where it will take you next.
