Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown

1988 · Pedro Almodóvar

Fellini is the maestro from my youth. He is the director who taught me how to put the camera inside the mind of women. Of course, Giulietta degli spiriti is the most important film in this sense, because it is a direct portrait of the interior of a woman, with this explosion of color and this fantasy. I can definitely see its mark in my earlier films like Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.
