No doubt that this was the first great masterpiece of Pedro Almodóvar. This film is a delicious and irresistible sitcom that revolves around the loneliness of women in a crazy world dominated by men who cheat and lie. With a creative script, colorful scenes, superbly written characters, hilarious dialogs and an excellent pace, Almodovar took us to Madrid around 80's where many women were abandoned by their partners through excellent and hilarious scenes. In my opinion, this film successfully intersects tragedy with comedy. "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" tells the story of love (or rather lack of affection) between Ivan and Pepa, both are voice actors who dub foreign films, a lifelong couple who recently broke up. No director portrays women better than Almodovar. This amazing comedy really shows what he is capable of. I've seen this film dozens of times and I can not find a single fault. It always seems as fresh, funny and endearing than before. It's one of those comedies that make you laugh every time you see them. All the actors are excellent in their characters, from the sublime to the delirious Carmen Maura, Maria Barranco, to Julieta Serrano, Rossy De Palma, Antonio Banderas and Chus Lampreave. It might not be a masterpiece, but it is an absolute joy, an absolute delight
