Description:One of world cinema's most exciting filmmakers, Pedro Almod�var has been delighting, provoking, arousing, shocking, and--above all--entertaining audiences around the globe since he first burst onto the international film scene in the early 1980s.All about Almod�var offers new perspectives on the filmmaker's artistic vision and cinematic preoccupations, influences, and techniques.
