I don't know much about either of them, but Pedro directed one of my all time favorite films and that's all I have to say. Very important, I know.

[itsme_eloise]

which one?

[theoryofwar]

The Skin I Live In, which is also one of my favorite books lol. I want to see his other films, I don't know which one to start with though!

[muffintiem]

there's so many good ones but I think Volver is prob one of his more accessible films, All About My Mother isn't a bad start either

[just444]

All About My Mother is great

[darklitplanet]

viggo is a damn mess, he needs to be pulled off promo tours at this point lmfao.

i love all about my mother so much lol, glad to hear rumors about cronenberg disagreeing aren’t true tbh!!

[afeelingunacted]

Right? Like when he randomly was nasty about Titane?

He's turned into this weird rambly old man who's always saying the most random catty things.

[darklitplanet]

i’m still bitter abt his unnecessary & wholly inaccurate shot at titane. it was especially messy given cronenberg has spoken highly of the movie already and both it and crimes of the future are owned by slash distributed by neon.

i watched titane and was so tense throughout from the balls to the wall craziness then when the adrenaline rush was over i dropped into the land of dreams str8 afterwards. 5 stars.

I love when old men slap at each other.

[genbu_no_miko24]

lol this movie is perfect!!

[hardto_remember]

Damn he's turning into such a messy old man...maybe he's bitter because although he's fluent in Spanish Almodóvar never considered for anything or something

[mila_s_garden]

Maybe Almodovar watched Alatriste lol
(Tbf I only watched a bit of that movie, but even though I'm Argentinian I couldn't understand Viggo's accent, while I had no problem understanding Noriega.)
