Published with Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.

Pedro Almod�var is one of the most daring and influential writer-directors of our time. He directed his first feature in 1980, during La Movida Madrile�a (the Madrid Scene), a countercultural and democratic movement in Spain, and has been pushing boundaries for over four decades. Often outlandish and provocative, and rife with passion, Almod�var’s 22 films to date explore the full spectrum of the human condition. In the process, they have transformed Spanish cinema and contributed invaluably to the global film scene.
Pedro Almod�var: Installation/Instalaci�n accompanies an immersive exhibition created by Almod�var for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles. Spanning 1984’s What Have I Done to Deserve This? to 2019’s Pain and Glory, Almod�var’s 12-channel film installation distills his filmography around iconic scenes and key themes including Family, Bodies, Guilt and Pain, Mothers, Musicals, Noir and Religious Education. This lush volume devotes a visual chapter to each, showcasing Almod�var’s muses―including Victoria Abril, Antonio Banderas, Pina Bausch, Pen�lope Cruz, Rossy de Palma, Marisa Paredes and Julieta Serrano―and the inspiration he draws from filmmakers such as Ingmar Bergman and Luis Bu�uel.
The bilingual (Spanish and English) book also features a new conversation between Almod�var and film journalist Rachel Handler, a foreword by Tilda Swinton, texts by curators Jenny He and J. Ra�l Guzm�n, an afterword by Agust�n Almod�var, and a richly illustrated filmography. As bold and beautiful as Almod�var’s films themselves, Pedro Almod�var: Installation/Instalaci�n captures the dynamic female characters, tantalizing stories, colorful humor and depth of emotion that exemplify this Academy Award–winning director’s career.
