    You have to love Almodovar! I love the way he re-uses the same actors in his films, like Chus Lampreave who plays the grandmother. I guess when something works you don't change things. The scenic scenes of the city of Madrid are awsome, it's as if you can actually feel the coldness of the city. The tiny apartment this family lives in makes you feel claustrophobic, but in a good cozy way. Although Gloria would love to not have to be in such close quarters with her Husband & much less stingy Mother-in-law. Let's not forget the wardrobes, Oh sooo eighties...love it!

    If you're looking for sex, drugs, murder and pure realism. This one's for you. Almodovar at his purest, no holds barred and no apollogies. What do you do when your husband is worthless your children are out of control your Mother in-law lives with you and rescues street vermin as pets, and the stud at work whom you had a crush on can't even get it up? Well for starters you get pepped up on speed kill your husband with a ham-bone and sell your youngest son to Michael Jackson. Well sort of. Give this movie a shot, I'm sure Jhon Waters wished he'd come up with it.
