As most of you are aware, this fine actress that played the lead in "Mujeres A Borde..." had some sort of falling out with Almodovar, causing him to never use her again in any of his movies. Does anyone know what happened??

La Mala Educacion

madmoisellekat — Tue, 06 Jul 2004 20:42:02 GMT

How many of you are dying for this film to be released in the US? Mexican actor, Gael Garcia Bernal, who is one of my favorite actors shall be staring in it. *swoon* I just hope this doesn't boast his career too much because I don't want him to be lost to Hollywood like his friend Diego Luna is on the verge of.

Pepi, Luci and Bom

Anyone see this early Almodovar film? I got to see it on VHS a few months ago. He is definitely unique in his vision as a film maker. I'm not sure if this was his first movie. Any else know? It's worth going to the obscure video store to dig this one out of the archives...

I think Leather Tongue in S.F. has it if anyone is interested.

fans of SPUN

Sun, 17 Jul 2005 21:07:00 GMT

GALAXIE PICTURES is currently developing 'Unfiltered', the directorial debut for Creighton Vero, screenwriter of the indie cult hit 'Spun'.

For more information contact: pete@galaxie-pictures.com

SYNOPSIS:

Teenage Sherri, a new arrival to Lake Charles, Louisiana, gets a rude awakening as the locals give her a slice of real Southern hospitality, small town style. Included in her Lake Charles initiation are some hard lessons on friendship, family, and bigotry—not the kind made of ephemeral remarks and incidental ostracizing of outsiders, but real and vicious institutional racism, the kind that ends in murder.

Sherri arrives as the locals prepare for the funeral of Mary, the town’s Contraband Days Celebration Queen. With her death begins the shattering of the perfect picture of southern hospitality that she represents. Grieving is glossed over in favor of panic about the town’s quickly evaporating marijuana supply. What’s really died is the smiling welcoming south, and its warmth and hospitality are quickly replaced by a rapid growth of weeds.

Then the ensemble cast of Unfiltered gradually unwinds into a hard picture of gritty southern life as facades of tolerance gradually peel / crumble away. What’s revealed is the stuff that’s usually swept under the carpet.

GOTTA LOVE POLAND

SaltLick — Sun, 19 Sep 2004 08:06:48 GMT

SO the only huge protest that I've seen to BAD EDUCATION, was in my city that I'm currently living in. ha ha ha

I read that there was a pro-catholic protest where someone sprayed tear gas or something at a screening of Bad Education here in Poznan. The article was published everywhere, including the NY Times I heard.

here is one article about it:

Leave it up to the city that I'm living to give such violent opposition to art. SO naturally I had to see the film here. SO I proudly went on a date with a boy and saw that movie in Poznan! Go me! ha ha ah...

P.S. There were no tear gas episodes at the screening that I saw.

question about Women on the Verge soundtrack

pulchrasunt — Thu, 24 Feb 2005 23:41:37 GMT

Hello All,

One of my coworkers was asking me about a song used in "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown." She says it's playing when she throws something (a suitcase?) out the window and it lands on somebody's car (sorry, I don't remember the plot very well). And the only lyrics she remembers are "Soy feliz." Shouldn't it be "Estoy feliz"? I asked. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Feminist Themes?

madmoisellekat — Fri, 02 Jul 2004 19:34:55 GMT

I wrote a paper about Almodovar for one of my Spanish film classes awhile ago. I think I discussed how the majority of his films have strong feminist themes. He often tends to be rather sypathetic to females and male characters struggling with their sexuality. He also tends to have your quintessential straight male as the villain in most of his films, who are often or not the cause of suffering fot many females.

What do you guys think of this? I can't find my paper, but I remember siting such films as "All About My Mother" and "Live Flesh" as examples.

Do you ever find Almodovar's images creeping into your concienceness as if they were your very own memories?

Angelica — Thu, 17 Jun 2004 04:36:10 GMT

I have to make a confession. The images and feelings are so strong when i've experienced them in his films that i just can't stop replaying them in my mind. I mean, it's been years since i saw some of these films yet they are always present with me.
