ALMODÓVAR: A RETROSPECTIVE BOOK (ENGLISH)

Pedro Almodóvar is one of the figures of contemporary cinema. Renowned for his imagination, unforgettable characters and a provocative and captivating cinematic language, he began his career during the Madrid movida, reflecting the spirit of political and sexual freedom of the era in his early films.

Since the creation of the production company El Deseo with his brother Agustín, Almodóvar has built a filmography of great international recognition, with titles such as Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, High Heels, All About My Mother, Talk to Her, Volver and Pain and Glory.

In this book, Pau Gómez offers a privileged look at the director's twenty-two main films. Lavishly illustrated with archival material, unpublished photographs from the shoots and first-person testimonies, it constitutes an exceptional journey through the filmmaker's career and creative universe.
