UW Cinematheque | LACIS Presents Pedro Almodóvars DARK HABITS (ENTRE TINIEBLAS)

Spain | 1983 | DCP | 116 min. | Spanish with English subtitles
Director: Pedro Almodóvar
Cast: Cristina S. Pascual, Carmen Maura, Marisa Paredes

On the run after her lover ODs, cabaret singer and junkie Yolanda (Pascual) decides to hide out in a Madrid convent populated by a group of lesbian, drug-using nuns. Employing a level of anticlerical satire that takes it far beyond Bunuelian, Almodovar delivered his raucous and very funny fourth feature film, his first with a proper budget and producer.
