Volver

2006 · Comedy · Pedro Almodóvar · 2h 1m

A working-class woman in Madrid juggles her daughter, her sister and the village she grew up in, where the women talk about the dead as if they had never left. Bright colours, warm, and led entirely by women.

Nearest neighbours by distance across all six, not by genre.

  • 2001 · Comedy

    Three grown-up child prodigies move back into their mother's New York townhouse at the same time as the father who walked out on them turns up saying he is dying. Deadpan, storybook-looking, and sadder than it first sounds.

    2014 · Comedy

    A young office worker talks his way into a band whose singer never takes off the large fake head he wears, and follows them to a cabin to record an album. Odd and funny early, heavier later.

    2018 · Drama

    A sick and unpredictable Queen Anne is managed by her closest friend, until a ruined cousin turns up at court as a scullery maid and starts climbing. Filthy jokes, wide lenses, three women circling each other.
