Pedro Almodóvar: heredero del cine clásico

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to establish the relationships between Pedro Almodovar´s work and Classical Hollywood cinema. For this reason I refer to different sequences and titles of the most representative films of Great Studios. The established intertextuality between American films of the Thirties, Forties and Fifties with the fimography of the Spanish film director is a reality. This demonstrates that movies with complex and strong plots are not old fashioned, in opposite to VideoGame and Special Effects industry. The movies are only forgotten by a serial production that damages the future of film industry.
