(Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios) directed by Pedro Almodóvar, starring Carmen Maura, Antonio Banderas and Julieta Serrano, Spain 1988, 89 min., DCP restoration, original version with Italian subtitles

Jilted by her lover, a woman decides to hunt him down, but she has to reckon with a female friend wanted by the police, with the man’s son and with his former girlfriend who wants to kill him. The film that propelled the director under the international limelight is an explosive mix of melodrama, zany comedy and social satire, a pop masterpiece where, at long last, it is the women who call the shots.
