Pedro Almodovar is one of the most notorious and celebrated directors of international film who single-handedly ushered in a new wave of Spanish film. Mixing up a cocktail of strong characters, weird sex, odd violence, perverse humour, bizarre plot twists, with elements of classic melodrama and crime thrillers, Almodovar created an unmistakable style of his own. Not since Bunuel has a Spanish filmmaker made such an indelible mark on modern cinema.
Vividly colourful, darkly humourous and always entertaining, Almodovar's films have to be seen to be believed. Along with Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Matador and Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, High Heels is a perfect introduction to Almodovar's early work.
A famous torch song singer (Marisa Parides) returns to Spain from Mexico with the hope of being reunited with the daughter (Victoria Abril) she previously abandoned. On her arrival she discovers her daughter is planning to marry one of her ex-lovers, a situation that can only end with murder.
