Happy 75, Pedro Almodóvar


If I wasn't currently buried in working on the very film festival that will allow me to see Almodovar's new movie in a week -- that would be the New York Film Festival and the movie The Room Next Door -- then I would have time to toss this Spanish king his proper laurels, and I think I'd do it with a list of my favorite movies of his. Okay I have probably done that before but whatever, things change with time. But since I am, in a fit of irony, busy with said same fest, I don't have time to figure all that out. But I'm posting this brief brithday love letter to him anyway to open the floor to you maniacs reading this -- tell me your favorites in the comments! And since this is Pedro Almodóvar we're talking about there literally isn't a single bad choice. Okay maybe I do feel weird about Kika and the rape scene that gets played for slapstick laughs. But other than that! All good here!
