WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS!: (1984) A sharp, erotic black comedy following the exploits of a Madrid housewife, hooked on amphetamines, and her strange family. One day, the pressures of her 18-hour work day see her explode when least expected.
WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN: (1988)An off-kilter film full of madness, mayhem and fun, nominated for the 1988 Academy Award (Best Foreign Language Film) and co-starring Antonio Banderas. High atop one of Spain's poshest penthouses, three women have come to the end of their mental ropes. They're all on the verge of a nervous breakdown - and one of them will commit murder unless the other crazed women can stop her!
