Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown

Pedro Almodovar's first major international success is not his best film, but it may be his most light-hearted and funny. There are a number of women, a lot of misunderstandings, a terrorist subplot, and wackiness ensues. It also has a young Antonio Banderas. It's only slightly surreal and not nearly as strange as some of his more recent films, but neither does it has the subtlty or depth of a film like Talk to Her. It does work well as a farce, however, filled with Spanish 80's clothes and all.
