  • Pedro Almodóvar is a Spanish film director, screenwriter and producer. Almodóvar is arguably the most successful and internationally known Spanish filmmaker of his generation. His films, marked by complex narratives, employ the codes of melodrama and use elements of pop culture, popular songs, irreverent humor, strong colors and glossy décor. Desire, passion, family and identity are among Almodóvar’s most prevalent themes. His films enjoy a worldwide following and he has become a major figure on the stage of world cinema.

  • Iconic Spanish director, known for his mastery of blending Melodrama, comedy, and intelligent social commentary. Getting his start in The Seventies, shortly after the death of Francisco Franco led to a massive opening and blossoming of modern Spanish culture, with film, music, and other arts being given an opportunity to experiment after four decades of repression. There were subcultures flying everywhere--while most had existed even in Franco's time, they were no longer forced to be underground. Almodovar--himself gay, a community that did not have a nice time under Franco's conservative regime--turns to this, and its relationship with what came before, for material.

His style has gotten him attention abroad--one of the first postwar Spanish directors to do so. Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown, All About My Mother, and Volver all have great reputations outside of Spain--possibly more than inside it.
