From a small village in rural Spain to international acclaim for his many wonderfully vivid and outrageous films, \u003ci\u003eAlmodóvar On Almodóvar\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of the man and his films.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlmodóvar came from an austere background in rural Spain. It was the 1950s, the age of the Cold War, of mambo, of Balenciaga, of the Korean War, of the Hungarian Revolution, of the death of Stalin. But none of these events bore any impact on his village. In response, Almodóvar's films - such as \u003ci\u003eBad Education\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWomen on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Tie Me Up!, All About My Mother \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eTalk to Her\u003c\/i\u003e to name a few - are colourful and deeply felt celebrations of life and love. In these frank and passionate conversations, Almodóvar discusses his astonishing life and career with a humour that is distinctly his own. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Pedro Almodóvar is widely acclaimed as one of the most successful Spanish film-makers, having won two Academy Awards, six European Film Awards, 2 Golden Globe Awards and 5 BAFTA Awards.
