Almodóvar Double Bill/FREE FOR EVERYONE!

Among the most perfect creations in the Almodóvar canon, All About My Mother conjures a rich, kaleidoscopic universe of unforgettable women. Brimming with references to classic melodramas, including All About Eve, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Cassavetes’ Opening Night, it follows the sojourn of nurse Manuela who, following the tragic death of her teenage son, travels from Madrid to Barcelona, where she joins a community of dispossessed women, including a troubled actress, an outspoken prostitute, and a pregnant, HIV-positive nun.

(Pedro Almodóvar, Spain & France, Spanish and Catalan w/ English subs, 1999, 101mins, DCP)
