We are joined by Babelito to talk about Pedro Almodóvar, a queer, Spanish director who has been shocking people for decades with experimental, sentimental, and consequential films. We discuss the recurring themes and plots in films like Pepi, Luci, Bom and Kika. The subtle political themes that seeped through in All About My Mother and the beauty in Volver. The huge change that occurred in his storytelling at the turn of the century with The Skin I Live In, Julieta, and Pain and Glory. We also discuss how his films affected Babelito on a personal level and our hopes for a post-COVID world. Support Babelito at http://www.latinoswholunch.com/ Don't forget to leave us a free review!

Famed Spanish Director Pedro Almodóvar discusses his newest film, Julieta. The film tells the story of a middle-aged woman who tries to reconnect with her estranged daughter who deserted her 12 years earlier after the death of their respective husband and father. Almodóvar’s 20th feature explores the complexity of fate, guilt, the mystery that leads us to erase people we love from our lives as if they had never existed, and a mother’s struggle to survive uncertainty. The director speaks in English and Spanish, with a translator.
