There probably aren't many film directors who can tackle the subject of rape, head on, and manage to get a laugh. Well I think Pedro Almodóvar just about manages that here thanks to an amiably strong performance from the eponymous make-up artist (Verónique Forqué). We first meet her when she is drafted in by her lover "Nicholas" (Peter Coyote) to dress the corpse of his son "Ramón" (Àlex Casanovas). What might have…
A memorable, surreal and bizarre comedy in the best Almodóvar style!
When American author Nicholas brings in a cosmetologist named Kika to prepare the corpse of his recently deceased son, she inadvertently revives the young man, then falls in love with him. Forces conspire against the couple, though, as Nicholas wants Kika for himself.
