Frauen am Rande des Nervenzusammenbruchs (1988)

Frauen am Rande des Nervenzusammenbruchs: Directed by Pedro Almodóvar. With Carmen Maura, Antonio Banderas, Julieta Serrano, María Barranco. A television actress encounters a variety of eccentric characters after embarking on a journey to discover why her lover abruptly left her.

“This is in my opinion the greatest Almodovar film ever! Its funny and serious, but mainly farscical, but its brilliant. Carmen Maura steals the show as a woman close to the edge, but her performance is fully backed up by all the rest of the cast. Antonio Banderas performance is excellent as a geeky young man, with his girlfriend and mother also shining. It combines all the elements of American comedy of the sixties but brings it back at us with a touch of latin spirit. This film in my opinion is a gem, for anyone who wants to laugh!”
