Vassiliou 47 out of 49 found this review helpful After I have ordered everything from Almodovars collection, I read the customer review that there were no english subtitles for the films. I was frustrated and wrote an email to amazon to confirm it. They said that it was correct NO ENGLISH SUBTITLES. I paniced and try to buy the films from Play.com which they say they had subtitles. Fortunately :) they couldnt accept my card. When my order finally came from amazon I have checked every single film. To my surprise there were english subtitles to every single one of them. I was really really happy. I think amazon should review the dvds of Almodovar and put that there are english subtitles on the description since it is very misleading for customers. Thank God play.com didnt accept my credit card, which by the way is a terrible site with no customer support. A comedy about someone U really KNOW..... June 12, 2002 26 out of 27 found this review helpful The wildly hysterical international box office hit, Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown, introduces us to Pepa (Carmen Maura) who has just been jilted by an answering machine. The love of her life, Ivan, (Fernando Guillén) has just ended their relationship and she is heartbroken.pBut misery does love company. Her girlfriend, Candela, has fallen in love with a terrorist. Ivan's son wants to rent the love nest Pepa shared with Ivan. Ivan's crazed wife arrives with loaded guns and Ivan himself is about to fly off to Stockholm with his new girlfriend on a plane that Candela's boyfriend plans to hijack. Pedro Almodovar's films are usually twisted, zany, and a bit disconcerting. This is probably one of his best films, along with Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down, (also starring Banderas). He uses many of the same actors in his films, but this is probably the best use of Maura in any of his films. Pepa is a strong, formidable character that evolves throughout Women. From first meeting her in the film it appears that she is shallow and one-dimensional, but in the final scenes of the movie, particularly when she finally gets a hold of Ivan, you realize that she is indeed a decent person. pIt's enough to drive any woman to a nervous breakdown - or beyond, in this madcap farce from acclaimed director Pedro Almlódovar. one of the best examples of spainish humour September 17, 2000 A. J. Luengo Gaztelu (durango) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful Hysterical performances by all the the cast. Although Spainish, the exposé of philanering, liars, cops, cabbies and the truly neurotic crosses all boarders. Its high time the video of this film was back on the shelves. I challenge any person of either sex to watch this film without wanting a hole to open up underneath them at some stage. Almodovar at his best July 20, 2000 1 out of 1 found this review helpful The best example of Almodavors quirky style and characters. Why oh why don't they re-release this. fantastic April 14, 2008 John G. Lynch (e17) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful this is the most excellent box set on amazon at the moment br /Almodovar is a comic genius Showing reviews 1-5 of 12 1 2 3 Next »
