Almodóvar's first return to pure edy 25 years, sce Women on the Verge of a Nervo Breakdown, is a piece of extravagant, ksch entertament which he joyfully lls "my gayt film ever". Even José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, the former socialist prime mister who ma Spa the third untry the world (after Holland and Belgium) to embrace gay marriage 2009, has let him down by panrg to the prophets of stery. "To be a transvte, gay, heterosexual, transsexual, or bisexual has never been a dramatic problem my films.
"Almodóvar's first feature film, 1980's Pepi, Luci, Bom, followed the tular Bom, a lbian punk-rock sger, while his send film (and his first of many llaboratns wh Banras), 1982's Labyrth of Passn, clud a gay Middle Eastern prce. In both plots, there are articl of clothg kept as remembranc, gay assignatns Mexi, and a qutn asked and answered starkly different terms. Jack, ’s implied, travels there for illic gay trysts between renzvo wh Ennis; when the latter asks whether he’s “been to Mexi, ” the qutn verg on a threat.
Burned by their rpective marriag and the fear of homophobic retaliatn, Jack and Ennis’s liv together narrow to a vanishg pot until one is snuffed out entirely.

“Sce the begng, when I was very young and Pedro gave me gay rol, was jt a feature of the character, ” Banras says.
Still, he acknowledg that few actors were quick to take on LGBTQ rol the 1980s and 1990s, when he also ma Hollywood breakthroughs playg the queer vampire Armand Neil Jordan’s Interview Wh the Vampire and Miguel Álvarez, the voted gay lover of Tom Hanks’ AIDS-stricken Andy Beckett, Jonathan Demme's Philalphia. "He ntu, "When we did Law of Dire my character was gay, but also a crimal, and people totally accepted he was a crimal—that was fe.

For example, Sam Elltt publicly cricized Jane Campn's Osr-wng The Power of the Dog for s homoerotic them. His films feature gay men, lbians, bisexuals, sex workers, trans people, drag queens, nymphomaniacs, and other “sexual viants.
In the films, Almodóvar is qutng why heterosexualy is the proper flt by makg strange through his homosexual mera. Even the tective, as a stand- for the patriarchal law, is suated to be a closeted homosexual who n barely keep his ey off hunky matadors to qutn wns.

In Labyrth of Passn, two star-crossed lovers cure each other of rpective perversns (nymphomania and homosexualy, of urse) by enterg a chaste, heterosexual relatnship. Both are great judg of human nature, both homosexuals and their films they qutn different typ of sexualy, make fun of the bourgeois and relig nventns, but never of te love. In 2006, when they worked on the great crime edy Volver, Pedro Almodovar, the gay enfant terrible of European film, scribed his relatnship wh his diva, Penelope Cz, the unscpuloly open manner characteristic of him.
They are both great judg of human nature, both homosexuals and their films they qutn different typ of sexualy, make fun of the bourgeois and relig nventns, but never of te love.
At the same time, the thor is very open about his homosexualy and rporat elements of unrground and gay culture to the mastream film form. In Almodovar very realistilly portrays problems his own youth and acceptance of his sexualy, as well as acceptance of homosexualy by society.

Nun he ocultado el hecho que sea gay, pero me rultaba extraño porque en España nun me han etiquetado o 'el ceasta gay, Pedro Almodóvar', a fue la primera vez que me pasó. Me taban clasifindo o un director homosexual en lugar o un director. Almodóvar s duda uno los ceastas que más ha ntribuido a la visibilidad l lectivo, cluyendo a personaj gay o transexual en las tramas s ctas en una realidad normalizada.
"Nun haré una película sobre los problemas una persona gay. D el prcip he cluido transexual, bisexual, lbianas y gays en mis películas o parte l día a día". Almodóvar’s works are not ncerned wh the polics of gay inty but rather the explosive fluidy of anti-intarianism—sentially movg away om technil ‘gay’ termology as morn ventns, to the body of ground queerns: the very msy queer world.
