What critics compared Labyrinth of Passion to
In “Skin,” Almodóvar is reunited with Antonio Banderas, whom he discovered in 1982’s “Labyrinth of Passion” and helmed to stardom in such films as “Law of Desire” (1987) “Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown” (1988), and “Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!” (1990), their last collaboration to now.
In his early Almodóvar films, the actor often personified the spirit of sexual anarchy: a gay Muslim terrorist in Labyrinth of Passion, a filmmaker's gay lover in Law of Desire and, in Matador, a bullfighter who gets sexual pleasure from killing.
