Starring Christina Sánchez Pascual, Will More, Marisa Paredes, Carmen Maura, Celia Roth, Laura Cepeda
A group of queer nuns who dabble in drugs take into their convent a selfish nightclub singer.
Not as striking as Almodovar's previous films, Dark Habits has a kind of The Exorcist quality about it. Set in very few locations and having sacrilegious imagery throughout.
Almodovar may be slipping here. His ludicrous ideas still run through. Much like the heroin going through Mother Superior's veins. But he doesn't expand them out, which is a shame. One feels that this could have been a lot more colourful.
