While playing with her Superman's cards in her apartment, Pepi (Carmen Maura) is visited by her neighbor and dirty policeman, who saw her vases with a plantation of marijuana on the window, rapes her and she is not arrested. Pepi plots revenge and calls her punk friends, and they mistakenly beat the policeman's twin brother up along the night on the sidewalk of a street. Pepi introduces her punk singer friend Bom (Alaska) to the policeman's masochistic wife Lucinda (Luciana), and when Bom urinates on her face, she falls in love for Bom and leaves her husband. Pepi, Luci and Bom go to underground concerts, bars and parties, but when the policeman meets Luci alone, he beats her up and she returns to him, while Pepi and Bom stay together.
"Pepi, Luci, Bom y Otras Chicas del Montón" has not been released in Brazil and I saw this low budget movie in Spanish without subtitles, therefore I understood only parts of the dialogs. The first Almodóvar's feature is a calling card of his style: irreverent, twisted, bright, tacky, shabby, outrageous, hilarious, underground, a kind of Spanish version of John Waters. The women, as usual, have strong lead roles. The colors are very alive, and the costumes the most weird as possible. I hope to have a chance to see this movie with Portuguese or English subtitles to have more fun with a fully understanding of the details of the lines. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Not Available"
