Pedro Almodovar - Gay Enfant Terrible of the European Film

Almodovar is easily comparable with Rainer Werner Fassbinder, another European film genius. Both Fassbinder and Almodovar are extremely fruitful authors and avid film-lovers; they are in love with the classic Hollywood films. Both are great judges of human nature, both homosexuals and in their films they question alternative types of sexuality, produce fun of the bourgeois and religious conventions, but never of true love

“Of all the actresses I have ever worked with, Penelope is the only one that made me feel yearning, more vital than the sensuality of making films. It is perfectly normal for a director to distribute a rich emotional planet with his actress; in this world, there is everything except sex.

Frank Ripploh’s Taxi zum Klo () was well-received upon its American release in ‘81, but it’s rarely revived now. It was a victim of tragic horrible timing: its celebration of the liberating potential of casual sex, including encounters in public restrooms, was instantly dated by the onset of AIDS
