María Barranco

Antonio Banderas leads this 1989 crime comedy from Pedro Almodóvar (The Skin I Live In) as a man recently released from a mental hospital who captures a porn star and keeps her hostage in the hope that she'll marry him.

Pepa resolves to kill herself with a batch of sleeping-pill-laced gazpacho after her lover leaves her. Fortunately, she is interrupted by a deliciously chaotic series of events. Directed by Pedro Almodóvar (All About My Mother, Julieta) and starring Carmen Maura (Volver) and Antonio Banderas (Pain and Glory, The Laundromat).
