...will this change anything? Veteran Brussels consultant and lobbyist Paul Adamson says that classic political divisions matter less in the European Parliament. "It is not so much about left or right, but about more or less Europe," he says. "Once the elections are out of the way, the main political groups work out their differences through consensus and compromise. And the three main ones are still all pro-European." With the rightwards lurch and the move to the fringe, it remains to be seen whether being pro-European means the same tomorrow as it did yesterday...

Perhaps we can forgive Adamson for attempting to stake out his own artistic ground at play's end, and choosing a burial plot for that purpose. But in so doing he abandons the Almodóvarian spirit, which always favors birth over death. In this adaptation's postmodern flux, Almodóvar's unique voice, upbeat even amid the direst human tragedies, ultimately goes missing. Which is a shame. After all, it's his voice, and the way from hurt to healing it describes, that we most want to hear...
