Almodóvar’s landmark commercial debut, Pepi, Luci, Bom... blazed a trail as a cult film and symbol of the cultural and sexual revolution of La Movida madrileña. Captured in 16mm, immortalizes a pivotal moment in Spain’s history, starring prominent figures from the Madrid underground scene like Alaska. The fierce female trio at the core of this daring black comedy takes on the heteronormative machismo of 1980s Spain with a combustive blend of sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll that continues to challenge audiences to this day. Known as one of the most provocative and widely recognized cinematic depictions of the post-Franco era, the film showcases Almodóvar’s devotion to boundary-pushing storytelling.
