Pedro Almodóvar’s Lacerating Self-Portrait Is a Difficult Watch

by

The film Bitter Christmas opens in 2004, introducing Elsa (Bárbara Lennie), an advertising director who previously directed two films that gained a dedicated, though small, following. She lives in a beautiful, brightly decorated Madrid apartment with her caring boyfriend, Bonifacio (Patrick Criado). Though successful, Elsa suffers from increasingly severe migraines, leading to a recent emergency room visit – at a hospital she once used for a film shoot. The story quickly reveals that Elsa’s life feels intentionally disjointed, as if she’s inhabiting someone else’s experience. This is because she’s a fictionalized version of a character being written by Raúl (Leonardo Sbaraglia), a filmmaker in 2026 who is crafting the story of Elsa and Bonifacio as his new screenplay.

The first trailer for this game came out four years ago, back in 2022, and I’ve been following its development ever since. Despite the long wait, my excitement never faded. Now that it’s finally released, I’d say it was mostly worth it, although I still wonder what caused the delay.
