Product Description

Pedro Almodovar's influence on European popular culture has been immense. From an austere background in rural Spain to international acclaim for his many wonderfully vivid and outrageous films, "Almodovar on Almodovar" tells the story of the man and his films. Almodovar's films - such as "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown", "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!", "All About My Mother" and "Talk to Her" to name a few - are colourful and deeply felt celebrations of life and love. In these frank and passionate conversations, Almodovar discusses his astonishing life and career with a humour that is distinctly his own.

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!!
