Almodovar made Gael Garcia Bernal into a beautiful transvestite.
I can’t wait to see this movie.

Gawd, he’s hot as a man AND as a woman! I’m looking forward to this movie as well.

Miss Mea-Mea, you’re not the first one to see that resemblance. From this article:
With his hazel eyes, full lips and smooth platinum wig, Bernal is disarmingly beautiful in drag. In fact, there’s an air of Julia Roberts about him. But when Bernal looked at his character in the mirror, he saw his mother.

I heard a story about the movie on the radio yesterday… Fresh Air, maybe? Anyway - the movie sounds interesting, if a little creepy. (not because of the transvestitism - because of all the Priest Sex.)

Came out last summer in France. Probably one of my fav Almodovar movie ever. Everyone left speechless.

Like Sijeka said, it came out last summer in France and I saw it on day two. It was my favorite film of 2004, and certainly in the top 10 of all time.
