Anybody like Almodovar?

[GRLMGC]

He's my favorite director. I can't wait for his new film to be released in the States.

[Metatron]

1. Hell, yes!

Really delightful stuff :)

[GRLMGC]

3. Damn right!

You're officially cool in my eyes now. hehe

[Metatron]

4. Sometimes being a film snob has its benefits!

:evilgrin:

[progmom]

2. He's twisted, but that's why I love him

Talk To Her was brilliant.

[drhilarius]

5. Right here.

Women on the verge...all about my mother...talk to her... all just great films.

[GRLMGC]

7. Women on the Verge

I had a hard time getting this DVD but it was so worth it. Have you seen What Have I Done To Deserve This? A lot of people don't find his earlier work as accesible as his post-Women on the Verge films

[drhilarius]

10. I'd be one of those people...

But I'd be willing to give them a second try, if I could find a video store that stocked them.

[GRLMGC]

14. yeah

I actually found Matador, What Have I Done To Deserve This, and the Law of Desire at Blockbuster. The smaller, independent stores tend to have a bigger selection of obscure stuff.

13. I love that film

Saw it twice in the theater when it came out. Great film :thumbsup:

[NightTrain]

6. I really like his earlier stuff, like "What Have I Done To Deserve This?"

Unfortunately, beginning with "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown," Almodovar toned his films down, presumably to appeal to a wider audience. That's when I lost interest in him.

12. Thanks for the HOT tip

I didn't know that. Haven't seen it. I bet it is magnificent....

8. Just saw talk to her about 1 month back

I loved it. I have all about mother in my que. He does make spain look so beautiful.

[GRLMGC]

9. because of him

I really wanna go to Madrid.

[helnwhls]

17. I hear ya

One of my laid off friends figured out how to bum around europe on her unemployment. She said spain was so beautiful that she extended her stay for a week.

[chookie]

11. I love him I love him I love him I love him

He is great.

Every film is a two hour roller coaster ride of real life -- grim painful absurd beautiful and pays honor to how people manage to survive daily life these many millenia....

A new one coming out? I am so THERE!!

PS -- Senor Almodovar -- please contact me. My life can yield a perfect subject for you. My mother, a perfect subject for you. My sister -- it would take two movies....

Fellini loved women, but Almodovar loves and understands them.

[GRLMGC]

15. haha

La Mala Educacion is coming out in Dec.

[GRLMGC]

16. Screw it

I'll kick my own thread. I hope he makes another film w/ Carmen Maura soon. They've supposedly discussed it. It'd be cool if he'd work w/ Antonio Banderas too.

[sundog]

18. Yes, I love his stuff.. Atame! is my fave
