The Flower of My Secret

In the mid-1990s, foreshadowing his transition into full artistic maturity, Pedro Almodóvar takes a break from explosive excess and turns to a deeply introspective study of female desire, frustration, and creative crisis, with a mesmerizing Marisa Paredes as both muse and protagonist.
