Adapted from three short stories by Alice Munro, Julieta is one of Almodóvar's most pared down films. The plot is woven around two encounters in the same train one of which seeming to determine the other. “Julieta is not a melodrama, but a tragedy where Almodóvar returns to the Mediterranean, a sinister Mediterranean of cruel gods and oracles petrifying men in the fatum” (Cahiers du cinéma, May 2016). Two actresses share the role of Julieta, Emma Suárez and Adriana Ugarte. The transformation from one to the other, created by a brilliant illusion, also reveal an abyss: a period of self-forgetfulness exists. Almodóvar also transforms one of his favourite actresses, Rossy de Palma, into a double of the sinister Mrs Danvers from Rebecca.
