What kind of Amodova style is it?

Almodova

Spanish director. Born in poverty, I was confused and disappointed with the real world and religious values very early. I saved money to buy a camera and made many short films with the support of my friends. In the meantime, he also engaged in comic books and novels, and participated in performances such as rock music and stage plays. Woman on the verge of collapse won him the best screenplay award at Venice Film Festival and the best young film award at European Film Festival, making him the most popular cutting-edge director in Spain. Since then, his works have won many international awards. Known as the most influential Spanish director after bunuel, his works are full of controversy, focusing on topics such as desire, violence and religion, and showing postmodern aesthetic vision and great contempt for authority through bright colors.

ALMODOVAL is a Spanish gay international director. From his plays and movies, we can see his sympathy for women and transgender people, especially his subtle observation of women. In movies, many times female characters are obviously deliberately arranged for Stockholm syndrome, which is a kind of person who is emotionally dependent on others and easily moved, so they often have a good impression or sympathy, tolerance and even admiration for the perpetrators. Especially early movies (such as

In his films, elements are as rich as kaleidoscope, with suspenseful temperament, Mexican escapism, comedy interest, surreal absurdity, complex psychology, gorgeous Spanish color, fashion, strong childhood feelings of directors, eulogizing and belittling pan-morality, symptoms of the times and exaggerated plot turning points. . . All kinds of seemingly popular are actually unfathomable. The themes he wants to discuss, such as sex, violence or religion, can strongly feel some anxiety about the survival of contemporary society, but what is outstanding is that movies often subvert the happy ending and make movies more absurd.

But I gradually feel that his films are almost over-stylized, which is the fatal point to make his films consistent. Compared with early years, in recent years, from Tell Her to Gone with the Wind, there seems to be less and less arrogant and bold sexual themes. On the other hand, the early films abandoned the traditional mode more boldly, and the plots and characters developed on their own, and the expression techniques tended to be non-mainstream, which was more in line with his exploration of the complicated relationship between sex and eroticism, desire, death, affection and love.

In addition, the theme of "death" permeates many of his films like infectious diseases. Often after the death of others (whether relatives, friends or lovers) in characters experience, the living environment began to be different. It seems that the experience of death can make people return to the essence, a more peaceful primitive essence?
