Almodóvar, desire in action
Law of Desire, Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, High Heels, Live Flesh, Broken Embraces, The Flower of my Secret, The Skin I Live In, I'm So Excited, Julieta... The film titles that make up the impassioned filmography of Pedro Almodóvar speak for themselves: with each new work, the Spanish director who will preside the 70th Festival from 17 to 28 May, has shone a constant light on 'the obscure subject of desire' so dear to Buñuel. Some extracts from a magnificent body of work.
