    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Pedro Almodóvar and Carmen Maura's personal relationship was seriously damaged during the shooting, which Maura even defined as a "living hell". It took 18 years for them to work again, on Volver - Paluu (2006).
    • Goofs
      Candela, while giving Pepa's rabbits water, comments to Carlos about how the rabbits love the turnips they're eating (in the English and French subtitles as well as in the original Spanish audio), but the only vegetables in the cage are leeks, and the rabbits aren't eating them.
    • Quotes

      Iván: How many men have you had to forget?

      Pepa: As many as the women you remember.

    7/10
    Very funny farce
    Wickedly funny movie of actress who gets dumped by her lover, and how she responds. Full of zany characters and richly applied satire, and some great plot twists. Very offbeat and comical, your time will be well rewarded. This is an excellent movie for Americans to get acquainted, if you're not familiar already, with foreign films or directors. Directed by Pedro Almodovar. Highly recommended.
