"Dark Habits"
1984
Directed by Pedro Almodovar

An outrageous comedy from Pedro Almodovar, set in a most unusual convent.  When Yolanda, a nightclub singer, loses her boyfriend to a drug overdose, she seeks refuge from the police in a convent.  The Abbess turns out to be a heroin addict who takes a special interest in Yolanda.   "Hilarious, irreverent fun," wrote The Village Voice, "Part Luis Bunuel, part John Waters camp. Lots of laughs." Spanish with English subtitles.
