Pedro Almodóvar (born 1949) is a Spanish filmmaker whose work is famed for its rich and complex investigations of desire, sexuality, family relationships, public and private personas, and the ties that bind us together. Having built up a following in Spanish-speaking territories with early work like What Have I Done to Deserve This? (1984) and Law of Desire (1987), it was Almodóvar’s seventh film, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988), which brought him international acclaim. The string of hits that followed included Live Flesh (1997), All About My Mother (1999), Talk To Her (2002), and Bad Education (2004). Although no stranger to the Oscars, BAFTAs and Golden Globes, Almodóvar has resisted the lure of Hollywood, remaining true to the settings and styles of his own cinematic canvas, and continuing to work with his favoured core of Spanish crews and actors. Among his best-known collaborators are Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz, and most famously Antonio Banderas, who made his screen debut aged 21 in Labyrinth of Passion (1982), became an international star thanks to Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! (1989), and has now appeared in a total of eight Almodóvar pictures, up to and including Pain and Glory (2019). By turns melancholy, comical, irreverent and sincere - and always joyously colourful - Pedro Almodóvar’s films occupy a special place at the very heart of queer cinema.

Other films include: Dark Habits (1983), Matador (1986), High Heels (1991), Volver (2006), The Skin I Live In (2011), I’m So Excited! (2013), Parallel Mothers (2021)
