10. Kika

Kika is such a good person. She will only complain a little during a raping and not even that much. Besides she is a great make-up artist. If it wasn't because of the evil men that surround her, or the incomparable Andrea Caracortada (something like Andrea Scarface) the movie would have been much happier and less entertaining. If it wasn't because of Anabel Alonso's gigantic boobs or a fully naked Bibiana Fernández (Bibí Andersen back then) singing Luz de Luna, the film would have been a lot less Almodovarian. And I haven't even mentioned Rossy de Palma or the Brechtian references... What a great film...

13. What have I done to deserve this? (¿Qué he hecho yo para merecer esto!!)

A movie of firsts and lasts. First true protagonist for Carmen Maura, first appearance of Verónica Forqué (both in the picture, the latter with a man on top of her). It is also the last movie by Pedro to include paranormal activities (that telekinetic child and her mother are priceless). A great portrayal of the Spanish urban working classes and a great anti-melodrama. I mean, in melodrama, small things can be the hardest of all but in this film everything is approached from distance and humor. A mother leaves her child with a pedophiliac dentist, an aspiring star is working as a prostitute, a lonely old lady loses "Money"... Terrible dramas taken lightly.
