WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN

The film that launched celebrated Spanish director Pedro Almodovar’s international career. A black comedy that successfully melds melodrama and classic Hollywood screwball, it follows the trials and tribulations of television actress Pepa, who may have a great career, but her love life is in turmoil.

Featuring the director’s trademark vibrant colour palate, strong female characters and starring his long terms collaborators Carmen Maura, Rossy De Palma, Julieta Serrano and a fresh-faced Antonio Banderas, it’s as exuberantly entertaining today as when it first hit screens 35 years ago.
