You're very lucky if you know somebody who would buy you The Pedro Almodóvar Archives for Christmas. More likely it's the kind of thing you'd treat yourself to.

Here's a guided video tour of my copy, with a few cameo appearances by bits of my carpet. Consider the camera work to be in the punk ethos of early Almodóvar. The book itself can bring the sheer glamour of his later works.



The Pedro Almodóvar Archives are available now from Taschen. Amazon in the US are charging $126, Amazon in the UK have it at £75.57, an amazing saving on the £135 RRP.
