Pepi, Luci, Bom and other girls of the district ( Pepi, Luci, Bom will otras chicas LED montòn there) is a Spanish film carried out by Pedro Almodovar in 1980, with Carmen Maura.

Synopsis

Pepi cultivates Marijuana on its balcony. A cop who lives opposite, notices it and comes to it to declare to him that he will not say anything only if it lets it make love with him. Pepi accepts, but provided that it does not take its virginity to him (!). This one does not believe in it, but Pepi was really virgin. This one then decides to be avenged.

Such is the beginning of this film impossible to summarize, where the masochists, the lesbians and others drag-queens côtoient themselves in a very jovial atmosphere, always shifted and absurd, but while remaining coherent.

The realizer will say itself of his film: “It is neither a realistic film, neither an analysis of manners, nor a portrait of the company. Although it tallies well with a certain type of off-hand people whom one meets in Madrid, completely surface and who seem to sail in the fiction.”

This film approaches already all the set of themes of films of Almodovar: treated female characters of exclusiveness, unslung sexuality, the relationship between love and friendship,…
