Pepi, Luci, Bom y otras chicas del montón (1980)
Hilarious, full of language jokes
"However, you begin to disappoint with the first dialog (silly and absurd, no provocative), and it's better if we don't talk about the papers and acting (what happened to great Carmen Maura?!!)." I totally disagree with that, this movie is great, full of references to other great directors,which I guess the person who wrote this comment failed to see.
The actors are simply great, and act in the most purely Almodovar-John Waters way, making all the dialogs hilarious, playing with language (changing register in the same sentence from the highest to the lowest, making absurd speeches, from the point of view of the linguistics) and intonation, which I think is the greatest tool used by almodovar in his films.
Again, he rises daily life and common problems to the absurdity, by magnifying them, making us laugh at our own problems.
One of his greatest movies, in his purest style, which he greatly used again in his latest film "volver".
