| Director Pedro Almodovar with his muse, actress Penelope Cruz. |
Need an injection of heat this spring? Check out the Â鶹´«Ã½ Art Gallery’s Wednesday film series featuring the films of Spain’s Pedro Almodóvar.
Law of Desire (1987) started off the series last Wednesday. The narrative follows three main characters: a gay film director who embarks on a new project; his sister, an actress who used to be his brother (Carmen Maura), and a repressed murderously obsessive stalker (Antonio Banderas).
Next up is the Spanish director’s international breakthrough: Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988) on March 31. Followed by Talk to Her (2002) on April 7 and Bad Education (2004) on April 14. The film series concludes on April 21 with a screening of Volver (2006). Penelope Cruz delivers a powerhouse performance as a mother coping with past trauma while trying to protect her daughter from the same fate.
Screenings take place Wednesdays, 8 p.m. in the Â鶹´«Ã½ Art Gallery. Admission is free.
