Pedro Almodovar: Old School Reviews

Pedro Almodovar

Like the great Spanish director Luis Buñuel, Pedro Almodóvar creates unconventional films and has his own obsessions. Just as the primary objective of the provocative surrealist director was to shock the audience, Almodovar has consistently thrown viewers off the track by diving into bizarre melodrama with flamboyant characters. His irreverent movies frequently feature homosexual or transgendered characters.

Notable Films
	Volver (2006) Penelope Cruz stars in this upcoming release. The buzz is very positive!	Live Flesh (1997) Star crossed lovers follow their desires, inevitably plunging into a myriad of complications. It all begins after hours with a birth on a Madrid bus.
	Bad Education (2004) Successful blend of Hitchcockian thriller, film noir, and arthouse, this ranks among Almodovar's best--a film that only he could craft..	Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988) Pure farce that is the Spanish equivalent of I Love Lucy. Complications evolve that can only happen in the movies.
	Talk to Her (2002) A parallel tale of two women in a coma and their lovers, Almodovar fuses suspense and comedy into a drama that is anything but comatose.	Law of Desire (1987) Among the strongest of Almodovar's early films is this 1987 gem starring a young and sizzling Antonio Banderas as an obsessed homosexual who pursues a movie director relentlessly.
	All About My Mother (1999) Containing enough prostitutes and transgendered people to signal an Almodovar film, this poignant drama brought American exposure.	Dark Habits (1983) Dark comedy involving drug dealing nuns on crack, this contains many familiar Almodovar themes but doesn't represent his strongest work...
