Muy bonita la pelicula, me encanto tanto que adquiri el cd; disfrute cada momento recordando escenas de las mas relevantes con solo escuchar cada pieza, definitivamente esencial como complemento del dvd; lo mejor es ver primero la pelicula para poder identificarse con las canciones del soundtrack.

I bought this album because i loved the Penelope Cruz track she sung in the movie. This is here but the rest is very much an instrumental album, i was hoping for more tracks like the aforementioned one. My fault for not researching it better!

Iglesias Does It Again
8 Jan 2007
Format:Audio CD
Volver was narratively and stylistically a tremendous film, but as with all movies, the full effect can be sealed with the musical score. Here, Alberto Iglesias once again delivers. After his haunting, noirish feel to Bad Education, his efforts on Volver create a beautiful and bittersweet world that describes every moment of the film. Standouts include "Las Vecinas", a catchy theme which I find myself going back to time and again, the title track, "Volver" which is emotionally stirring and hits all the right notes and feelings, "Paco Congelado" which humorously, yet darkly portrays Raimunda's husband, "Comida Casera", rich in pizzacato and a great clarinet, bassoon, and saxophone trio, and the song found in the opening credits to the movie, "Las Espigadoras" seems like a trip back in time. Overall, this album is highly listenable-- after all, I'm on my third time in just a few hours. The score accompanies the movie very well but stands even better on its own, something that many soundtracks struggle to do.

Great Soundtrack
9 Mar 2007
Format:Audio CD
The music of Alberto Iglesias, who's worked in most of Almodovar's films, always brings an extra, very important, element to the feeling to the movie. And in "Volver" is no exception.

Beautifully Done.
20 Sep 2009
Format:Audio CD
This movie was cleverly achieved by Almodóvar. I have nearly all of his movies. He truly is very creative in the stories that he writes. I see a theme with him and how he showcases women as the valiant courageous survivors and the men as ....well..basically cowardly, bastardly trash. :)
I enjoyed seeing Carmen Maura back on screen in Almodóvar's films. From what I heard Maura and Almodóvar had a disagreement and for that reason she was not in any of his movies for a long time. I believe Maura was a favorite of his. Their prior, recent reconciliation would explain her return to his cast of stars, of which includes Penélope Cruz in "Volver."
The acting is all quite good in my opinion, the story is a tad bit fantastic but still very believable. Almodóvar is one of my favorite directors and in this movie, as per usual, he doesn't disappoint.
