Kika (1993)
This film is Almodovar in a playful mood before the maturity of some of his later movies; only he could direct a rape scene as high comedy. Kika is a free spirit who moves from lover to lover, new situation to yet another without blinking twice. We see her with her most recent (cataleptic) boyfriend, her venal servant -- the incredibly weird-looking Rossy De Palma, and crossing swords with a no-holds-barred TV scandalmonger played by the remarkable Victoria Abril. The American actor Peter Coyote also floats in and out of this screwball world as a nonchalant murderer.
