Pepi, Luci, Bom and Other Girls on the Heap Movie Review 1980

Almodovar's low-budget directorial debut will be of interest primarily to the director's aficionadoes. Pepi (Maura's debut role) is a Madrid heiress who gets in trouble when her neighbor, a policeman, notices her marijuana plants. She offers sexual favors in return for silence but is raped instead. Pepi later decides on revenge by seducing Luci, the policeman's wife, aided by her girlfriend, Bom. There's lots of partying, drugs, promiscuity, and violence, none of it very involving. In Spanish with English subtitles.
