Almodovar's initial film with plenty of off-the-wall comedy , absurdities familiar and raunchy outrageous scenes . Dealing with the grimy story of Pepi (Carmen Maura) is raped by the policeman (Felix Roraeta) who catches her growing marijuana in her apartment. Then Pepi seeks vengeance by getting his masochist wife to leave him. Later on , housewife Luci (Silva) , whose hubby had raped Pepi , leaves him and commences a lesbian relation with Bom (Gara , the famous singer Alaska with her band Los Pegamoides) .
First Almodovar film with full of outlandish characters , grubby scenes, bad taste, swearing, indecent sexual acts with kinky scenes and poorly made. Covering everything from drugs , profanities, sexual violence , to female masochism . His is an inferior film, an amateur story made with a very low budget and crowdfunding. This first feature film, Pepi, Luci, Bom (1980), was made in 16 mm and blown-up to 35 mm for public release. Almodóvar himself appears as a ceremonial star carrying out some naughty scenes about a sexual contest. The result is an undiluted scabrous comedy with perverted sex with short , sharp images and a crazy strings of plots . Badly and spontaneously playing some Almodovar's regulars, such as : Carmen Maura as an heiress/rape victim , Kiti Mánver , Cecilia Roth , Julieta Serrano, Cristina Sánchez Pascual , Assumpta Serna, among others.
This Almodovar's first film portraying life in Madrid during the punk and ¨La Movida¨ was lousily realized and devoid of laughs. This is really his worst film ; however , subsequently his style to be compellingly purified . Developing his own trademaks , as he often uses symbolism and metaphorical techniques to portray circular story lines . In in his later films Almodóvar directs throughout with splendid zip and he usually portrays strong female characters and transsexuals . In 1987, he and his brother Agustín Almodóvar established their own production company: El Deseo, S. A. The "Almodóvar phenomenon" has reached all over the world, making his films very popular in many countries. Pedro subsequently made successes such as Labyrinth of passions , Law of desire , Women Women on the verge of a nervous breakdown , Bad education , All about my mother , Talk to her , Broken embraces , The Skin I Live In and many others . Rating Pepi, Luci, Bom y otras chicas del montón(1980) : 4.5/10 . Not for squeamish.
