A different film will be shown every Wednesday until 28 February. The series is sponsored by the Division of Spanish and Portuguese and the Department of Comparative Literature in conjunction with Spanish 491/C. Lit. 497B. The films start at 7:00 PM, are free and are in Spanish with English subtitles. 17 January: What Have I Done to Deserve This? (1984). A glue-sniffing, overworked housewife kills her husband with a ham bone in a claustrophobic apartment in a working class neighborhood of Madrid. 24 January: Matador (1986). Almodovar takes on another Spanish cultural icon, the bullfight. Sexuality and death are made explicit as they swirl around the fiesta nacional. 31 January: The Law of Desire (1987). Mistaken identity, homosexual love, theater and film come together in Almodovar's kinky mix of film noir and soap opera. 7 February: Woman on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988). Almodovar's first hit in the US features an unfaithful advertising agent executive, his suicidal girlfriend, his homicidal wife, spiked gazpacho and a singing taxi driver in a madcap comedy. 14 February: Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! (1989). Rikki is released from a mental institution and searches out Marina, a porn star with whom he has fallen in love. After a number of escapes from each other, they wind up driving off into the sunset. 21 February: Kika (1993). Almodovar reprises his major themes of sexuality and women's subjectivity, this time filtered, literally, through the lens of fashion photographer Ramon. 28 February: All About My Mother (1999). Almodovar achieves (in this Academy Award winning film) the domestication of the outrageous, 'normalizing' transexuality while questioning the absolute categories of father and mother.
