Finally released on DVD after many years, features Antonio Banderas as you've never seen him before! Telling the story of Sexilia, a nymphomaniac punk rocker and Riza Niro, the gay son of the Emperor of Tehran and set in the sordid underground scene of Madrid

Labyrinth of Passion is an early foray by Almodóvar into the chaos and anarchy of desire. Billed as the first Almodóvar film that "you can see and hear", it has the bold, primary colours of a low-budget Sirk.

Sexila is a young sex fiend, member of a female rock group and daughter of a brilliant and twisted gynaecologist. She is in love with Riza Niro, heir to a fallen Arab empire, who is more preoccupied with make up and men than with international politics. They are the central couple around which the film revolves, just one step away from losing control.

The kaleidoscopic trip through the Labyrinth of Passion takes in music, shameless obsessions, terrorism, test-tube babies, remedies for people with dry-lips and brittle fingernails, murky pasts and uncertain futures.

Quintessential Almodóvar - savage, wild and fun.
