Mother Dearly Beloved (Mater amatísima)
Directed by José A. Salgot, this iconic film tells the story of Clara (Victoria Abril), an attractive, sophisticated woman, and the autistic child who transforms and absorbs her life.
Mater Amatísima astonished audiences at the Cannes Film Festival by providing an extreme dissection of the mother-child bond in a confrontational and uneasily honest way.
Selected by Pedro Almodóvar.
