**Screenwriter**: Pedro Almodóvar **Producers**: Augustín Almodóvar, Michel Rubin One of maestro Pedro Almodóvar’s most-complicated and lauded masterpieces, this exquisitely shot meditation on loyalty and obsession earned Almodóvar the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay along with the Golden Globe and BAFTA Awards for best Foreign Language Film. With a breathtaking and controversial mix of movement and stillness, murky morality, and outrageously envelope-pushing imagery and subject matter- Almodóvar creates a world with sympathy for monsters, oversized genitalia, and Pina Bausch performances no one should miss on the big screen. Two men (Benigno and Marco) almost meet while watching a dance performance (of German icon Pina Bausch no less), but their lives are irrevocably entwined by fate. They meet later at a private clinic where Benigno is the caregiver for Alicia, a beautiful dance student who lies in a coma. Marco is there to visit his girlfriend, Lydia, a famous matador, also rendered motionless. As the men wage vigil over the women they love, the story unfolds in flashback and flash-forward as the lives of the four are further entwined and their relationships move toward a shocking conclusion. **Picks from the Video Store** Bring home more masterpieces from the always fabulous Pedro Almodóvar tonight! *Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, All About My Mother, The Skin I Live In* **Accessibility Options**: Open Captions, Amplified Audio, please see the box office for devices.
