Talk:Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown

TO DO

 * 1) Say something about the production of the film, exhibition history, critical response
 * 2) Say something about how film fits in Almodovar's overall oeuvre

Plot - The Mambo Cab Driver
About half way through describing the plot, the article states that Pepa "ends up catching the same cab with the same Mambo-loving driver." However, the cab driver has not been mentioned earlier in the article. Also, the second paragraph begins with "Pepa returns home at dawn." Perhaps it was coming home that Pepa has met the Mambo cab driver, but it doesn't say this, nor where she is coming from. Did she go someplace important? If not, why mention coming back?

Plot - The Answering Machine
Some things that happen in the plot may make more sense if it is mentioned that Ivan hasn't spoken to Pepa, but has been leaving phone messages. For example, the end of the plot description mentions the important news but there was nothing earlier in the article about her having news she wants to tell him. I added something at least alluding to her needing to talk to him.

The reason for these disconnected details may result from the Wiki instructions at the top to cut down on the plot; my elaborating on those details may have run counter to this instruction. The only way to make the plot shorter is to avoid and episodic description and just mention some of the crucial elements of the plot. Unfortunately, I don't have time to do this and I haven't watched the film recently so there's a couple of things I'm unclear on. For example, the Spanish wiki article on the movie says the Gazpacho was prepared for Ivan. Earlier, this article said it was for a suicide attempt by Pepa. So, I just finessed that by leaving out of the plot description the reason for the Gazpacho being there. Ileanadu (talk) 19:28, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Poster
Can we put the original Spanish version of the poster?? I think it is more relevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.147.135 (talk) 04:46, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
