Second film from internationally acclaimed Spanish director Pedro Almodovar.

THE PLOT

The plot follows a nymphomaniac pop star who falls in love with a gay Middle-Eastern prince. Their unlikely destiny is to find one another and overcome their sexual preference…

REVIEWS

"Almodóvar’s second feature offers a stylish blend of Hitchcock and screwball comedy that reveals his innate talent at imitating and reinventing Hollywood gloss.

While Labyrinth of Passion centers on the converging paths of two sex-crazed unfortunates, the film also orchestrates a larger cast and a delirious pastiche of hot-button topics ranging from incest to Islamic terrorism to Lacanian psychoanalysis, all colored with the polymorphous pansexuality found throughout Almodóvar’s earliest works." - HARVARD FILM ARCHIVE

PEDRO ALMODOVAR

Pedro Almodovar is by far the most famous and most inetrnationally acclaimed Spanish director of his generation.

A few facts:

- Born in 1949

- He is openly gay

- His first film was Pepi, Luci Bom y Otras Chicas del Monton (1980), which was shot with the help of volunteers over weekend.

- He has directed 17 films so far, in the last 30 years, among which: Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988), High Heels (1991), All About my Mother (1999), Talk to Her (2002), Bad Education (2004), Volver (2006), Broken Embraces (2009)

You shouldn't miss this rare chance to glimpse early Almodovar, from an era when he was a filmmaker like John Waters.

Putting together outrageous films by the skin of his teeth with an infectious sense of fun and freedom. It's high camp comic melodrama.
