If you loved Carne tremula, try La legge del desiderio
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Pedro Almodóvar, and they both carry the sexy, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Carne tremula, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What La legge del desiderio 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.
