All About My Mother (Todo sobre mi madre)

Women standing in solidarity take centre stage in Pedro Almodóvar’s tender and optimistic melodrama about the ups and downs of a group of far-from-ordinary friends. Following the accidental death of her son, Manuela travels to Barcelona to search for his father. But her former boyfriend is now called Lola and has gone into hiding within the transvestite scene. Almodóvar’s declaration of love for cinema’s purest emotions revels in colours and sets whose intensity is also reflected in the soundtrack.
