A classic. Pop culture pastiche with weird situations and hiperbolic ironies about love, sexuality and gender in the pioneer style of Pedro.
Not one of my favorites of Almodovar, but you can give it a try.
This guy is brilliant. You think you know whats coming next, but you dont. Amazing.
Almodóvar is one of the best storytellers out there. He's got such powerful approach both as writer and director. Here's another proof.
Erotic and tragic. Antonio Banderas is excellent and proves Almodovar is one of the best directors of the spanish language and europe.
It’s so sexual, intriguing and well made. A very good Almodóvar film.
perfect to watch on a hot summer night date with a novice twink of your preference. you'll surprise him!
Eusebio Poncela shines in Almodóvar's bold drama, adding depth to an already captivating narrative.
Una forma única y poética de contar historias y de estudiar los deseos humanos. Gran guion y uso genial de los colores y planos.
Good film by Almodóvar about the complexity of love
