The hands-down favorite of the 1999 Cannes Film Festival and winner of the Best Director Prize at that festival, as well as an Oscar for Best Foreign Film and opening selection for the NYFF that year, this screwball valentine to all the women and all the men who want to be women is lovingly fashioned by the ever-fabulous Pedro Almódovar. Madrid and Barcelona provide the lurid urban landscapes that harbor his beautifully portrayed charactes who brim with compassion and unstoppable life force. Manuela (exquisitely played by Cecilia Roth) loses her lson and begins a quest to find his wayward father. En route, she encounters and nurses back to sanity several varieties of wounded women. Almodóvar’s affection for his subject has never been more fervent and is fully realized by the extraordinary performances of Roth, Marisa Paredes, Penélope Cruz and Antonia San Juan.
