I dunno. I wouldn't be surprised to see Hollywood attempt a remake of "Talk to Her", which as far as I recall is the only Almodovar film without gratuitous sex and/or nudity slung in. Great film too, btw. Mrs PP loved it, even more so as I didn't speak for about half-an-hour after watching it...

His recent film! Perhaps he's got over his 'porn' phase and started knocking out some decent movies. I saw 'Pepi, Luci, Bom' in uni. Minored in Spanish and was doing a module on 20C Spanish culture when some bird brought the film in. This girl even started going on about how that scene previously mentioned was for real 'as Almodovar wanted to see what the true reaction would be like.' A true professional.

The lecturer only allowed half an hour to be shown before, to the relief of the rest of us, she moved onto some crap 50's/60's Carlos Saura film.

Is that the one where the simple guy works in the Coma ward giving sponge baths, I can remember a good deal of gratuitous nudity in that and one surreal dream sequence that was certainly sexual.

Great show by the way.
