Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown

Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988) starring Carmen Maura, Antonio Banderas, Julieta Serrano, Maria Barranco. Directed by Pedro Almodovar. Interesting Spanish comedy about a rather eccentric woman (Maura) and how she reacts when she is abandoned by her longtime lover. The movie features a bright color palette and is peopled with odd characters. It's in Spanish with English subtitles, and I think a little something was lost in translation, still I will remember this movie fondly. It's definitely one-of-a-kind and worth seeing. Grade: B+
