MUJERES AL BORDE DE UN ATAQUE DE NERVIOS POSTER

MUJERES AL BORDE DE UN ATAQUE DE NERVIOS POSTER

ACADEMY MUSEUM EXCLUSIVEMUJERES AL BORDE DE UN ATAQUE DE NERVIOS 27X40 MOVIE POSTER The Academy Museum Store partnered with El Deseo and Pedro Almodóvar on this collection of merchandise inspired by his films, and are the only offical retailer selling reprints of his film posters. Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (Spanish: Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios) is a 1988 Spanish black comedy film written and directed by Pedro Almodóvar, starring Carmen Maura and Antonio Banderas. The film brought Almodóvar to widespread international attention: it was nominated for the 1988 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and won five Goya Awards including Best Film and Best Actress in a Leading Role for Maura. It debuted at the 45th International Venice Film Festival and was released on 11 November 1988. Academy Award–winning filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar (b. 1949), one of the most daring and influential writer-directors of our time, transformed Spanish cinema with his 21 feature films to date. He directed the first in 1980, during La Movida Madrileña (The Madrid Scene), a countercultural movement that emerged as Spain transitioned from a repressive military dictatorship to democracy. Pushing the boundaries of representation, he centers dynamic female and LGBTQ+ characters and stories that express a fuller spectrum of the human condition. At times outlandish and provocative, Almodóvar’s films—marked by exquisite performances, lush production design, and moving scores—are also deeply humanistic and compassionate.
