This book delves into the life and works of Pedro Almodóvar, a filmmaker who crafted his own distinctive cinematic universe without following in the footsteps of any predecessor. However, it is not a comprehensive analytical or critical study of all aspects of Almodóvar’s cinema. Rather, it presents the author’s personal and objective critical perspective, written with affection and enjoyment as he explores the secrets and worlds of Almodóvar’s films. The book is a rich cultural journey, blending observation, critique, and analysis across various themes. It offers impressionistic journalistic storytelling infused with a loving, discerning critical spirit—constantly linking the director’s personality to his films through spatial, cultural, artistic, and psychological references.
