Presented in conjunction with the exhibition ‘Portrait of Spain: Masterpieces from the Prado' at the Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane, Australia. The Gallery’s Australian Cinémathèque presents a retrospective of films by Pedro Almodóvar — one of the most celebrated and charismatic figures in contemporary Spanish cinema.

For more than 30 years, Almodóvar has created a unique blend of melodrama, suspense, black humour and visceral emotion, writing and directing films that deal with excess, passion and the complexity of family and identity. Central to his films are his fascinations with the disenfranchised, with the roles adopted by women (in particular the figure of the housewife), and exploring the nexus between religion, love and sexuality. Simultaneously flamboyant, humorous and deeply earnest, Almodóvar’s films contain some of the most memorable stories and characters in international cinema.

After a provincial upbringing, Almodóvar began his career in the mid- 1970s during the period of Spain’s transition to democracy and amid Madrid’s vanguard underground cultural movement known as 'La Movida'. His provocative early films, and his involvement with punk music and publishing, helped to mark his early work with a distinctive sense of personal and social liberation, which carried him on to international acclaim.
