Law of Desire
Law of Desire or La ley del deseo( in original Spanish) is a 1987 film written and directed by Pedro Almodóvar.
Starring Eusebio Poncela as Pablo, Carmen Maura as Tina and Antonio Banderas as Antonio.
It was the first film Almodóvar made independently with his own production company" El Deseo".
The story focuses on a complex love triangle between two men and a trans woman.
Pablo, a successful gay film director, disappointed in his relationship with his young lover, Juan, concentrates in a new project, a monologue starring his transsexual sister, Tina.
Antonio, an uptight young man, falls possessively in love with the director and in his passion would stop at nothing to obtain the object of his desire.
The relationship between Pablo and Antonio is at the core of the film, however, the story and own drama of Pablo's sister, Tina, plays a strong role in the plot.
Shot in the later part of 1986," Law of Desire" was Almodóvar's first work centered in homosexual relationships.
He considers" Law of Desire" the key film in his life and career.
It follows the more serious tone set by Almodóvar's previous film," Matador", exploring the unrestrained force of desire.
It s themes are: love, loss, gender, family, sexuality and the close link between life and art.
" Law of Desire" was met with general positive reactions from film critics, and it was a hit with audiences becoming Almodóvar's most successful film up to that point.
It toured many international film festival, winning the Teddy Award in Berlin and it made Almodóvar known internationally.
Elements from" Law of Desire" grew into the basis for two later films: Carmen Maura appears in a stage production of Cocteau's" The Human Voice", which inspired Almodóvar's next film," Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown"; and Tina's confrontation scene with an abusive priest formed a partial genesis for" Bad Education".
