Almodovar’s “Volver” in Oscar running

Pedro Almodovar’s new film Volver, which has received rave reviews all over the world, has been chosen to represent Spain in the Oscar running for Best Foreign Language film by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The film, which earned special recognition for its female cast members at the Cannes film festival (yet fell short of taking home the Palm D’Or) has also been named “Best Film of the Year” by the International Federation of Film Critics. Now, speculation is mounting as to whether — in addition to representing Spain in the foreign language category — Volver will also be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.
Sony Picture Classics (who recently released a fabulous Almodovar retrospective) plans to release Volver theatrically in December. I can’t wait.
