¡Átame!
Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!
Pedro Almodóvar 1990 Spain
A man recently released from an insane asylum kidnaps a woman with whom he is infatuated in the hope of persuading her to marry him.
Almodóvar makes the most out of a simple situation to great, comedic effect. The chemistry between Banderas and Abril is key: together they embody their roles fully in a deceptively funny way - the mind games take their toll and the result is a complex film of cat-and-mouse desire. When they finally have sex, it is as convincing as it is genuinely erotic, and perfectly played.
