Pedro Almodovar`s colorful and controversial tribute to the pleasures and perils of Stockholm syndrome, Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! is a rambunctious dark comedy starring Antonio Banderas (Philadelphia) as an unbalanced but alluring former mental patient and Victoria Abril (Kika) as the B-movie and porn star he takes prisoner in the hopes of convincing her to marry him. A highly unconventional romance that came on the spike heels of Almodovar`s international sensation Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, this is a splashy, sexy central work in the career of one of the world`s most beloved and provocative auteurs, radiantly shot by the director`s great cinematographer Jose Luis Alcaine (Volver).
