Special attention is paid to questions of sexuality and the centering of usually marginalized characters. This course studies Pedro Almodovar's development from his directorial debut to the present, from the "shocking" value of the early films to the award-winning mastery of the later ones. Prerequisite: ability to understand spoken Spanish. Readings in English. Midterm and final paper can be in English for non-ILAC degree students.
