The Skin I Live In
Almodóvar achieved international recognition for his black comedy-drama film "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" (1988), which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and went on to further success with films such as the dark romantic comedy "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!" (1990), the melodrama "High Heels" (1991) and the romantic drama thriller "Live Flesh" (1997). His subsequent two films, "All About My Mother" (1999) and "Talk to Her" (2002), earned him an Academy Award each, for Best Foreign Film and Best Original Screenplay respectively. He followed this with films like the drama "Volver" (2006), the romantic thriller "Broken Embraces" (2009), the psychological thriller "The Skin I Live In" (2011) and the dramas "Julieta" (2016) and "Pain and Glory" (2019), all of which were in competition for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
