LA LEY DEL DESEO

a 1978 film by Pedro Almodóvar

     

In discussing his visual style, he said, “Given that I was educated in the 60s and 70s one of the greatest influences is Pop Art. Some of the first films I saw were in Technicolor, and I've tried to recuperate some of these colors. My films are full of brilliant colors but over time they have darkened.” (blogs.indiewire.com)

 

“Melodrama was the first genre I saw as a child, housewives would listen to it on the radio. I also loved musicals. I've been a moviegoer since I was a child, and I started making movies as a projection of my life... I mix genres because during the day I pass through a lot of genres.” (blogs.indiewire.com)
