Damn you, Roger Ebert!


I often read past reviews of films after I've watched them. Does ANYBODY have any idea what scene he means in this:

"Look at Almodovar's command of framing here. There's one unbroken shot so "illogical" it may even slip past you. There's urgent action on a sofa in the foreground and then a character stands and moves to the right, talking, and dawdles slightly and then moves to the left, and now we see for the first time the next room completely open to this one, and there is a young man seated at a table."


I know there's already been one or two posts about this, but they're pretty much dead threads.

I read the review a couple of days before watching it and was waiting for this shot the whole movie, I've watched it twice now and still have no idea what framing is he talking about

.

His memory failed him, he merged two different scenes into one shot. The beginning sequence with the kind blonde and later on, when Diego waits for Mateo to come work.
