CONTENT WARNING:

After a young heiress is assaulted by a policeman, she seeks revenge by befriending the policeman’s mousy wife and introducing her to her circle of outrageous punk friends.

This film is presented in Spanish with English subtitles.

Almodovar's debut film made in 1980 with a very young Carmen Maura has never been distributed in the United States till now. Pepi, Luci, Bom is the story of an independent modern woman who forms an S&M relationship with her best friend, Bom, and Luci, the wife of the local policeman! A riotous comedy with plot devices that can be seen in virtually all of Almodovar's subsequent films.

Jeffrey Friedman & Rob Epstein

When two gay filmmakers, Academy Award winners Rob Epstein (Common Threads, The Times of Harvey Milk) and Jeffrey Friedman set out by van on a journey into the heart of the heartland of America, they create a sort of gay Charles Kurwalt TV segment that is a telling and affecting testament to how 'outside' homosexuals still are viewed in America today. For those of us who live in the Back Bay or Beacon Hill, vacation in P-town and brunch in the South End, this is a reminder that to most of the United States we are aliens from "another country." - 1992 Sundance Film Festival Selection

Accomplished documentarians Rob Epstein and Jeff Friedman take a trip across the American South and Southwest, asking people about their hopes and fears.

Castalleneta's revelatory two hander was rated best feature at the 1991 San Francisco Lesbian & Gay Film Festival. Like the ideal one night stand its "compelling, compassionate, unrelieved and exhausting." - San Francisco Chronicle
