And might it be that, in some international hotel room, somewhere, Almodóvar once caught an episode of the David Walliams and Matt Lucas comedy docusoap Come Fly with Me? In many ways, this movie resembles nothing so much as 90s BBC TV sitcom The High Life with Alan Cumming as the high-camp air steward Sebastian Flight.
