If you loved Matador, try Das Gesetz der Begierde
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Pedro Almodóvar, and they both carry the sexy mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Matador, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Das Gesetz der Begierde is
A Madrid apartment in midsummer, the hum of a refrigerator never quite drowning out the tapping of a typewriter. A celebrated film-maker, nursing a lover’s departure, casts his trans sister in a solo play and watches her command the stage. Then the uptight stranger starts calling collect from a phone booth across town. Third-act fireworks from a director who still thinks the heart isn’t bulletproof.
