Almodóvar, Madrid’s Cinematic Laureate

In 2024, Pedro Almodóvar released The Room Next Door, his debut feature-length film in English. This article looks back at his life and career through the lens of a major exhibition staged in his adopted home of Madrid. The article, much like the exhibition, charts a potted history of one of the major oeuvres of contemporary European cinema through the lens of the Spanish capital.
