Law of Desire

An Almodovarian snapshot of late-'80s Spain, the heyday of yayo and neon clothes and amorphous sexuality, at least among people in the acting/directing/theater/film world. This is lower-echelon Almodovar, akin to "Bad Habits," though of minor interest for the concepts and themes that he explores later, better. Also, a scene takes place in a restaurant near a lighthouse that looks an awful lot like the restaurant in "Volver." And some scenes show an early but unadvanced appreciation for Hitchcock that would be expanded on in "Bad Education."
