TIE ME UP! TIE ME DOWN!
[¡ÁTAME!]
In one of Pedro Almodóvar's most risqué comedies, a newly released mental patient (Antonio Banderas) stalks and kidnaps the object of his obsession — former porn star Marina (Victoria Abril) — and then holds her captive until she falls in love with him, in a bizarre case study of Stockholm syndrome. Punctuated by a tense Ennio Morricone musical score, the film remains controversial more for its sadomasochistic undertones and the victimization of women than for its graphic nudity and passionate sex scenes. DIR/SCR Pedro Almodóvar; PROD Enrique Posner. Spain, 1990, color, 101 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. RATED NC-17
