I watched Volver this afternoon. It was going well although perhaps lacking a little of the emotional intensity I have come to expect from Almodóvar. That still makes it pretty intense however. Then at the half way stage the subtitles went out of sync so that they didn't appear until about 10 seconds after the dialogue. That really makes it hard to follow. Still, not as hard as a French film I went to many years ago when the subtitles disappeared completely. At least I know a bit of French but the dialogue was a bit too fast for me to catch very much. Today it became a memory trick to relate the written dialogue back to what had already happened - I sort of became used to it but it was never really satisfactory. Perhaps I should learn a bit more Spanish.
