Pedro Almadovar ( born 1951) is the most famous Spanish director, a scriptwriter, an actor and producer.

Director of " Kika", " All Albout My Mother", "Volver", "High Hills","Pepi, Luci,and Other Girls Like Mom", "Broken Embraces "



Almodovar's films these are most often melodramatic, full of incredible situations,fullfilled with incredible intense colors. with elements of the black humour and homosexual motifs. Forms are often main characters from the lower classes of society, the social and sexual margin (dealers of drugs, prostitutes, transvestites, criminals).

Cinema of Pedro Almodóvar is describe as postmodernist cinema of the excess, operating on many levels. However under the brilliant colorfull surface, the director is touching also social matters, so as the problem of the violence and alienation ,the loneliness of individual, however he isn't propagating the conventional morality or he doesn't offer transparent answers....in Almadovar's movies everything is hidden under red lipstick of prostitute, fake eyelashes, and in "over the top" actions of main characters.
