Pedro Almodóvar’s colorful and controversial tribute to the pleasures and perils of Stockholm syndrome, Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! is a rambunctious dark comedy starring Antonio Banderas as an unbalanced but alluring ex-mental-patient and Victoria Abril as the B-movie and former porn star he takes prisoner in the hopes of convincing her to marry him. A highly unconventional romance that came on the spike heels of Almodóvar’s international sensation Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, this is a splashy, sexy central work in the career of one of the world’s most beloved and provocative auteurs, radiantly shot by the director’s great cinematographer, José Luis Alcaine.

antonio banderas stars as ricky, recently released from a mental ward and longing to settle down with a loving wife and family. for his bride, he chooses b-movie queen marina, whom he kidnaps and holds prisoner. as their bizarre relationship develops, they discover an uncommon love that is bound by more than just pleasure and pain.
