“Both sex and death are eternal themes. You could make thousands of movies on this theme, and whether you have a human being who is painting, singing, making a film, writing, these are the themes that you will come back to and return to. If you don't have any of these artistic expressions, sex is one of the only gifts that nature gave you for free, so it is very important to celebrate it. And then, with death, we are condemned to that. This is absolutely present in our lives.” IfsWritingHumansImportantFilmSexHuman BeingsOur LivesPaintingExpressionReturnEternalSingingCelebrateArtisticThemeArtistic ExpressionSex And DeathFilm Writing Author:Pedro Almodovar
“I'm a very dull passenger. I don't speak. I don't have sex. No alcohol. I don't do drugs. The thing that I like about flying is that I feel like I can really concentrate. I used to write many things, and many ideas for my movies belong to this moment where I'm not anywhere specifically in terms of time and space and geography. I am suspended, and this suspension fits me very well.” FeelsWritingWellsI CanIdeasMomentsUsedSpeakSexTermSpaceFitDrugAlcoholFlyingDullTime And SpaceGeographyPassengersSuspendedSuspension Author:Pedro Almodovar

“When I start writing, the first line might come from reality, but the second and the third one, I have to write it. So this is the genesis of my creation.

“When I make a film, I never stop uncovering mysteries, making discoveries. When I'm writing, filming, editing, even doing promotional work, I discover new things about the film, about myself, and about others. That is what I'm subconsciously looking for when shooting a film: to glimpse the enigmas of life, even if I don't resolve them, but at least to uncover them. Cinema is curiosity in the most intense meaning of the word.” IfsWritingFilmMysteryDiscoveryCuriosityIntenseShootingCinemaMovieResolveNew ThingsEditingGlimpseEnigmaCinematicFilm DirectorsUncoveringRelay Races Author:Pedro Almodovar
