PINK PALACE:THE FLOWER OF MY SECRET

Pink Palace presents the sublime Almodovar drama THE FLOWER OF MY SECRET in tribute to the sad passing of its iconic star Marisa Paredes. Every woman has a secret... Leo leads a secret double life as an author or romantic fiction. However her success as the best-selling Amanda Gris hasn't brought her happiness and things are getting worse. Her often absent husband doesn't love her, her best friend is strangely distracted and her mother and sister are too busy bickering to notice that anything's wrong. Abandoned by her muse and seeking solace in the bottle since the collapse of her marriage, an unlikely rescuer sets her on a collision course to a new emotional entanglement. Marisa Paredes is a towering emotional force in this often over-looked Almodovar drama, released in 1995 it marked a departure away from the madness of his previous film Kika and a move to the more introspective personal stories that followed, do not fear however, all his trademark style is here in full, with magnificent support from regulars Rossy de Palma and Chus Lampreave. Please note there are NO ads or trailers, we start on time! Pink Palace is a super low fi highly relaxed event that takes place in the basement bar, its a safe queer space so come along and catch some queer film and pop culture history, each week the film is introduced by curator Andrew Woodyatt, and feel free to stay and chat afterwards, participation is encouraged!Romantic DramaPT1H46M152025-01-29
