One of Pedro Almodóvar’s greatest masterpieces, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown is a vibrant, hilarious, and fascinating telenovela of love triangles, misery, deceit, and utter mayhem. An exhilarating and exuberant portrait of intersecting lives and loves with mambo-taxis, spiked gazpachos, a rooftop aviary, an outrageous explosion of a color palette, and some of the most complex and provocative female characters ever committed to film – including a tour-de-force performance from Carmen Maura and magnificent supporting work from Rossy de Palma, Julieta Serrano, and Antonio Banderas – this campy meta-melodrama was made to be seen on celluloid.
