Sunday Cinematheque at The Chazen: The Cinema of Pedro Almodóvar

A triumph of pop art, this exuberant screwball comedy catapulted Almodóvar to the forefront of world cinema. Frequent collaborator Maura gives the performance of her career as a jilted actress holed up in her posh apartment, awaiting a phone call from her costar lover. She is visited by a roundelay of hilarious, similarly scorned characters, whose companionship mostly serves to drive each other even crazier.
