Description

Pedro Almodóvar’s films―such as Women at the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, All About My Mother, and Talk to Her, to name a couple of―are colorful and deeply felt celebrations of life and love. The influence of these works, which were feted world wide, has been immense, and Almodóvar on Almodóvar tells the personal story of the man and his wonderfully vivid and outrageous vision.

Almodóvar came of age right through an austere time in rural Spain: the 1950s, the age of the Cold War, of mambo, of Balenciaga, of the Korean War, of the Hungarian Revolution, of the death of Stalin. But none of these events bore any affect on his village. In response, Almodóvar proceeded to carve for himself a unique niche in up to date cinema with films bursting with vibrant energy and vivid, number one colors―every frame saturated with passions, releasing a pure, visual, visceral emotion. In these frank and passionate conversations, Almodóvar discusses his astonishing life and career with a humor that may be distinctly his own.
