(1993) Kika
(In Spanish with English subtitles)
DRAMA/ COMEDY/ MYSTERY
The name "Kika" played by Veronica Forque is a name of a kooky/ eccentric female hair dresser, who seems to get in the middle of some crazy situations such as murder suicide, book writings, media exposures, eves droppings and cover ups. As in most of director Pedro Almodóvar films, I don't find them to be funny, even though some are intended to be comedies, but what stand out the most are the twists and turns, surprise revelations and the perplex relationships involve into some of the most bizarre of situations that don't happen to our everyday lives, but do happen here and it works. In this case as well as most others of Almodóvar films things begin to unravel until after the first hour, and start to make sense, why the things happen the way they do. This is no soap opera and viewers should also expect to see the most strangest and the most oddest circumstances that wouldn't happen to most normal citizens.
