From tomorrow until 20 October, Room 1 of the Centro Cultural Conde Duque<\/strong> in Madrid presents the exhibition Madrid, an Almod\u00f3var girl.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In this exhibition, visitors will witness the evolution of Madrid and its society through Pedro Almod\u00f3var’s<\/strong> films, and vice versa, thanks to the constant dialogue between the capital and the director. As he himself states, \u2018I grew up, enjoyed, suffered, got fat and developed in Madrid. And many of these things I did at the same pace as the city”.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Almod\u00f3var has not only captured hundreds of the city’s settings in his films, but also its soul, drawing inspiration from the people and stories he has met there, from Pepi, Luci, Bom y otras chicas del mont\u00f3n (1980) to Madres paralelas (2021).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2018I have always found in this city a perfect landscape and an incorrect and ideal fauna for each of my films\u2019, said the director. Madrid is the true Almod\u00f3var girl, appearing to a greater or lesser extent in all his films, in such a way that she is the quintessential character of the Almod\u00f3varian universe.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is very appropriate that this exhibition is being held in Conde Duque, as one of the most iconic scenes in his filmography was shot on the fa\u00e7ade of the building. Susan Sontag said that, like the scene of Marilyn and the skirt, the mythical moment of the hose watering Carmen Maura<\/strong> in The Law of Desire<\/em> (1987) has remained in the collective subconscious, and is now recovered almost forty years later.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From tomorrow until 20 October, the Centro Cultural Conde Duque in Madrid presents the exhibition Madrid, chica Almod\u00f3var.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":85060,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"jnews_post_split":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[178,176],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-85274","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture-art","category-leisure"],"yoast_head":"\n
