I adore this movie! It's such a good introduction to the world of Pedro Almodovar. It features so many of his trademarks: melodrama, fabulous women, exquisite and colorful set design but it doesn't lean too much into the director's more...boundary pushing tendencies. He's made more dramatic and disturbing films but I've always loved this one for how fun and light it is. Also I just have to mention how dreamy Antonio looks in this one. I mean he's always good looking, but the big glasses have a certain charm to them.

I really loved everyone's style in this movie too. They were dressed so well. Very curious to see more of this Almodovar's work

This was before Banderas moved to Hollywood.

Most of Almodóvar's early work was filmed in the neighborhood where I grew up (Malasaña, in Madrid), so his are the movies where I recognize all the places. My uncle was (sort of accidentally) in his 4th movie, "Qué he hecho yo para merecer esto", because he filmed part of it at the gym where my uncle practiced, so he has a line of dialogue coming out of the locker room. We tease him about it a lot. And several of his movie posters were designed by my parent's best friend, Oscar Mariné! If you want to check out more, I think - What Have I Done to Deserve This (Qué he hecho yo para merecer esto) from his Carmen Maura era - High Heels (Tacones lejanos) or Tie me Up Tie me Down (Átame) from his Victoria Abril era - All About My Mother (Todo sobre mi madre) from his transition into biggest stardom - Volver from his Penelope Cruz era are the most known ones.

Oh, I forgot The scenes with the rabbits have a double entendre in Spanish. We call "rabbit" what you call beaver, and we call "turnip" what you call wood. So when they comment that Carmen's rabbit is "parched" and dry and malnourished, and try to feed them turnips, well ... 👀👀 It's untranslatable because the poor rabbits are in the image, so you can't change the name of the animal in the subtitles.
