Product Description

The film-maker Pedro Almodovar emerged from an austere background in rural Spain to carve for himself a niche in contemporary cinema with energetic, passionate films such as "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown", "Law of Desire" and "Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down!". In recent years, however, he has tried to deepen the emotional content of his work and move in new directions. In these conversations, Almodovar takes each of his films in turn, and charts his personal development from one film to the next.

Wonderful insight into Almodóvar's work
This book is one of the best resources you could come across to gain a better understanding of the genius works of Pedro Almodóvar. What better way to understand the director than to read his own (translated) words in his interviews with Strauss. I'm writing my thesis on Almodóvar and I simply find this book invaluable. Nothing compares to it really. You could read all the critics in the world but it's nothing compared to reading about Almodóvar's own views and experiences.

Absolutely amazingly essential!!
