Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!
A kidnapped woman falls in love with her captor in this controversial drama from Pedro Almodóvar.
Drama 1989 101 mins
Director: Pedro Almodóvar
Overview
In one of Pedro Almodóvar’s darkest tales, a former porn actress (Victoria Abril) is abducted by a former psychiatric patient (Antonio Banderas), who believes she will fall in love with him.
The power struggle between the sexes is a favourite theme of Almodóvar, although this is the most extreme example in his filmography, and the ending will divide audiences. Both Abril and Banderas are superb.
