Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!

Pedro Almodóvar's colorful and controversial film "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!" revolves around Stockholm syndrome. Antonio Banderas plays an unbalanced but attractive former psychiatric patient who falls in love with an actress in low-budget films (Victoria Abril) and kidnaps her with the intention of making her marry him.

This highly unconventional romantic comedy shocked audiences accustomed to Almodóvar's previous international hit "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" and ranks among the central works of his career. The film's striking visual style is the work of cinematographer José Luis Alcaine.
