What they share
Both films are directed by Pedro Almodóvar, and they both carry the playful, sexy mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Law of Desire 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.
