ESSIE SPEAKS OF A CONTROVERSIAL MASTER : PEDRO ALMODOVAR

Soo, what do we have on the menu this week?

Well, I thought it might be nice to focus on a single master this week. Themes are well and good but nothing beats a good old retrospective. I have for you a man whose films have at times created scandal. There is every chance you might be prejudiced against him for any number of reasons. I sincerely hope that the reviews will push you to overcome at least a few of these and at least give watching his work a go before deciding. Colorful, saucy, inimitable, I give you Pedro Almodovar.

I hope you enjoy - I know I did!
