In 1986, he established his own film production company, El Deseo, with his younger brother Agustín Almodóvar, who has been responsible for producing all of his films since Law of Desire (1987).
His first few films characterised the sense of sexual and political freedom of the period. He came to prominence as a director and screenwriter during La Movida Madrileña, a cultural renaissance that followed after the end of Francoist Spain. Desire, passion, family, and identity are among Almodóvar's most prevalent subjects in his films.
His films are marked by melodrama, irreverent humour, bold colour, glossy décor, quotations from popular culture, and complex narratives. Pedro Almodóvar Caballero ( Spanish pronunciation: (often known simply as Almodóvar) born 25 September 1949) is a Spanish film director, screenwriter, producer, and former actor.
