Law of Desire was the first film of Pedro Almodovar's I saw. It changed the way I viewed film and I became a confirmed Pedro addict. It features a young Antonio Banderas, introduced to America in a roll that keeps him in his undies much of the time. Carmen Maura became a favorite international starlet as transexual sister Tina to Eusebio Poncela's sexy blond film director.
If you've never seen "Law" or the equally brillant "Matador", your chance is now. In NYC, the
Viva Pedro festival is still rolling along and this week you can see arguably the best of Almovodar. You'll be sorry if you miss it.
Obsession, betrayal and identity slam together in ever collapsing concentric circles of desire.
Who is "Laura P"?
