Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown at Cine
Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
(Shown as a double-feature with The Human Voice 30min feature)
Melding melodrama with screwball farce, this Academy Award–nominated black comedy was Pedro Almodóvar’s international breakthrough and secured his place at the vanguard of modern Spanish cinema. Continuing the auteur’s exploration of the female psyche, this wild and wickedly witty farce tells the story of Pepa — played by the director’s frequent collaborator Carmen Maura — who resolves to kill herself with a batch of sleeping-pill-laced gazpacho after her lover leaves her. Fortunately, she is interrupted by a deliciously chaotic series of events.
With an exceptional ensemble cast that also includes Antonio Banderas, Julieta Serrano and Rossy de Palma, this film shows an artist in total control of his craft, creating an off-kilter universe of madness, mayhem and pure fun.
