25 years ago, la movida erupted in Madrid, celebrating the new freedoms and end to censorship brought about by Franco’s death. Almodovar’s feature debut is the first of the movida films and follows Pepi who is raped by a policeman, She takes revenge by introducing his wife into lesbian sex and S&M in a wonderfully twisted comedy. Almodovar described the film as a story about strong and vulnerable human beings, who devote themselves to passion, who suffer love and have fun.
