    Asylum authorities release Ricky (Antonio Banderas) out into the public, and he proceeds to demonstrate the error of the decision. He beelines it to the set of film director Maximo Espejo (Francisco Rabal), a wheelchair-bound lecher whose current Euro-horror film is about a hideously mutilated, masked muscleman. Ricky's an enamored fan of star Marina (Victoria Abril), a porn actress recovering from drug addiction with a 'straight' film; Ricky met and bedded her briefly on a previous escape from the looney bin. Convinced he has the solution to all her problems, Ricky kidnaps her, locks her in her apartment and sets out to prove that his love transcends simple fan adoration. His simple formula for romantic success is bondage and tender loving care in equal doses. Naturally, Marina's response is unpredictable.

    After all I heard and read about this movie, I think this one of the most commonly misunderstood movies ever. It is not a comedy (although sometimes bizarre). It is NOT a glorification of violence. It is not about S/M or Bondage (which occurs between consenting parties). It's message is NOT that if you tie up and beat a woman, she will love you in return.

    Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! (1990) [ReUp]

    This is a movie about two people who are unable to master life on their own. This has led Ricky to the mental ward and Marina to being a drug-addicted porn star, who just happens to have a streak of luck because a movie director is completely obsessed with her. In the end, the two have found each other and it looks as if together, they can find the happiness and home they always were looking for. Beautiful…

    Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! (1990) [ReUp]

    Yes, Ricky's method of convincing Marina to love him is horrible and unacceptable. His attitude toward women and life in general is seriously twisted, and he just cannot think of any other way to get what he needs to fulfill his desire of living what he considers an ordinary life. Why does Marina fall for it? Probably because he's the first person who ever seemed to care about her. He fights to get her, he fights to help her. Even if his interest in her is ruthless and possessive, it is a genuine, deep interest and that is what she has been missing all her life.

    I found Atame to be a fascinating and remarkable movie. Watch it open-minded and try to look beneath the pure surface of the plot, and you will be moved and captivated by its beauty.

    Some Pedro Almodóvar fans felt betrayed when the Iberian director hit the international bigtime with Mujeres en el borde de un ataque de nervios (Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown) in 1988. The Royal theater in West L.A. had a special showing with several of the Spanish cast in attendance; and the movie, a romantic farce that played like a Doris Day movie on LSD, earned a delightful best Foreign Film Oscar nomination for an extremely talented guíon.

    Soon thereafter, another art theater announced a festival of Almodóvar movies, with interesting-sounding titles like Matador and What Have I Done to Deserve This?, and Savant guesses that many fans wrongly assumed they were going to be more of the same … only to find out that they had all kinds of extreme content - gore, bizarre sexual relationships, bright colors … Mujeres was something of a departure for Almodóvar, as his earlier pictures had been a lot bolder with taboo subject material, often political in nature. For his immediate followup, the always-surprising director tried subject matter considered completely Politically Incorrect in the USA … and received a perplexing NC-17 rating.

    Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! (1990) [ReUp]

    The Spanish title ¡Átame! does literally mean, "Tie me up!," and many fans of the relatively tame Women on the Verge were shocked to see their values so rudely assaulted here. Almodóvar's take on human relationships was always original, and the situation is a little less farcical than in his previous hit. But Almodóvar insists on grabbing the bull by the tail and facing the situation, so to speak. In this story, this female of the species is a confused, disordered, irresponsible spirit who does indeed need to be tied down long enough to realize that mutual romance is a possibility. Her captive terror does indeed turn into something else the more time she shares with Ricky, and after a few days watching him stare at her in puppydog devotion (it is Antonio Banderas, after all), well … What seemed so ridiculous in William Wyler's embarassing The Collector works here as some kind of statement about the irrationality of human hearts.

    If ¡Átame! has a lesson it's that the American belief that we invented liberated thought and feminine equality is a bunch of hooey. Even more to the point is the fact that in daily reality, intersexual relationships can be just about anything, even blatantly traditional: the man dominates, the woman submits. As obnoxious as this seems to progressive feminist activism, it's been the way of the world for so long that Man will have to do a lot more evolving before it goes away entirely. Marina and Ricky are characters, not real people - she's not particularly bright and he's practically a moron (okay, a handsome moron), but the film shows their love developing in an outrageous series of oddball comedy moments, some of which need to be thought about to decide whose leg Almodóvar is pulling at any given time. The director adds one of his ersatz commercials to remind us that this is a fantasy. It's a financial planning spot that shows Spaniards lolling away their time making love and otherwise seeking carnal pleasure, while the Germans (represented by a swastika-wearing Deutsch couple!) efficiently save and organize for retirement. After that, you can't go back into the main story thinking Almodóvar wants you to believe he's dead serious about his sex farce.

    Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! (1990) [ReUp]

    Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! was stamped with a bewildering NC-17 rating, which had to have happened because our blessed protectors at the MPAA were shocked, shocked at simple things like seeing a woman sit on a toilet, or god forbid, enjoy herself in a bathtub (What did Pleasantville get, a PG-13?) A woman is roughed up and likes it, which the MPAA apparently forgot has long been a standard feature in unenlightened American movies (the musical Carousel, for instance) whose messages encourage battered women to take their beatings as a sign of love from the brute men in their lives. At the screening Savant attended when ¡Átame! was new, patrons were verbally irate: Not that the film was Politically Incorrect, but that it wasn't sexy enough. The NC-17 meant smut and explicit sex in 1990 (does it now?), and about the roughest thing we get here is a cute windup bath toy paddling its way between Victoria Abril's parting legs. There is nudity and sex and profane Spanish dialogue – none of it gratuitous, all of it either amusing or erotically honest.

    Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! (1990) [ReUp]

    The movie is funny, well acted, and bizarre as only an Almodóvar film can be. His style is sort of a hybrid of Luis Buñuel, Mario Bava and Ross Hunter, and a delight for fans seeking something both spicy and opinionated. Loles Leon has a major role (even a musical number), and is delightful. She played the telephone receptionist in Women on the Verge. Rossy de Palma is also back, that woman with the fascinating Picasso face. Francisco Rabal's sleazy film director must be another Almodóvar reference to the Eurohorror he loves, Franco or Fulci or somebody - ? The film is bright and very well designed - the art direction and color in these Almodóvar pictures are entertaining just in themselves.
