Starring Carmen Maura, Antonio Banderas, Julieta Serrano, Mariá Barranco, Rossy de Palma
Exceptionally camp comedy from Almodovar shows what he does best. Although much tamer than his previous films, Nervous Breakdown contains as much, if not more fun than what he's offered before.
The beautiful Carmen Maura is Pepa, a voice actress who is getting herself together after her lover has left her. Throughout the time of her trying to contact his wife and son, Pepa slowing starts seeing that all is not well with her. Soon enough she starts doing silly things, and she isn't the only one.
It's probably the most comfortable of Almodovar's, even colourful enough to allow a possible family viewing. It's laughable, silly and exceptionally enjoyable.
5/5
