Pedro Almodóvar is without a doubt one of the best directors out there. He is also a bit crazy. I would say that's what makes his movies so incredible to me. They have a soap opera / telenovela quality that is delirious fun, but behind it all is serious shit. Like a soap opera.
This is about a dancer who ends up in a coma and the man who cares for her in a high end care facility. One day the nurse is at the ballet and happens to sit next to a man who eventually dates a female bullfighter, who eventually ends up in the same care facility. All four lives are intertwined forever more. It's really a cool story, and quite disturbing.
And the film is also a bit nuts. The giant claymation vagina is particularly unusual, but not out of place in a film by Almodóvar.
