17 mins confidence: 
is going back to the well Explanation: Literally, "pulling back the string." However, this is an idiom in Spanish, and since we can translate it with an idiom in English, so much the better. In other words, Almodóvar is dealing with the same aspects and themes in this movie that he addressed in previous ones. In English, we might say that "he's going back to the well" that he frequently uses as a creative or inspirational font (pardon the pun). |
