Actrice de doublage, Pepa vient de se faire plaquer par son amant et partenaire, Iván. Elle met le feu à son lit, pile des somnifères dans le gaspacho et… coup de sonnette : le propre fils d’Iván et sa fiancée, Marisa, viennent visiter l’appartement. Coup de sonnette : Candela, une amie, débarque, affolée — son dernier béguin, un terroriste, doit faire sauter un avion, justement celui que va prendre Iván avec sa nouvelle maîtresse. Coup de sonnette : Lucía, la femme d’Iván, surgit avec un revolver. (Tamasa Distribution)

The famous Almodóvar classic that introduced the world to the intricate world of Spanish black comedies. The whole thing is like a play - it takes place over a very short time, and all the characters keep coming back to the same apartment. And the theme is, of course, relationships, relationships and more relationships. Among those prominent females we also find a young Antonio Banderas, which of course (in retrospect) helped the film to remain immortal, even though times have changed and today's generation doesn't understand the troubles experienced by people without mobile phones.

Even though I wouldn't admit it five years ago, Pedro Almodóvar is one of my favorite creators. It's precisely because he can combine tragic themes with such a perspective that is interesting, entertaining, and yet does not lose its emotions. Even though the film "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" has this too, I still enjoy his following movies more.
