Story Synopsis:
Raimunda (Cruz) has a full plate in front of her. Still saddened by the death of her mother and father so many years ago, she works as a janitor while her unemployed and unmotivated husband lies about their Madrid apartment, sometimes pestering their teenage daughter, Paula (Cobo). Plus she cares for her elderly aunt (Lampreave), who seems to be going senile, claiming she sees, and speaks to, Raimunda
DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a very pleasing picture, with solid blacks, bold, vibrant colors, and natural fleshtones. Fine details in close-up shots are well rendered, but medium and long shots are not captured as well as in the best releases, and some pixilization and minor edge enhancement can be noticed from time to time. Still, this is a good picture. (Danny Richelieu)
