Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!
Short description
Ricky, a young man recently released from a psychiatric hospital, has become fixated on Marina, an actress he once spent a night with. Convinced they are meant to build a life together, he tracks her down and takes her captive in her own home, determined to make her love him.
Pedro Almodóvar directed and co-wrote the film with Yuyi Beringola; it was the fourth of the twenty-two features he has directed, arriving after Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown and before High Heels. Antonio Banderas plays Ricky and Victoria Abril plays Marina, with supporting turns from Loles León, Julieta Serrano, María Barranco and Rossy de Palma among a credited cast of twenty-nine. Produced by El Deseo, the film mixes comedy, drama and romance.
Its ratings sit in similar territory across platforms: on IMDb it holds 7 out of 10 from around 34,000 votes, while on TMDB it scores 6.8 out of 10 from roughly 725 votes. A critics' rating of 6.1 out of 10 from thirty-two reviews places it somewhat below the audience scores. The film took about 4 million dollars worldwide.
What's left behind the scenes
- Ennio Morricone composed the music for the film. Almodóvar was dissatisfied with his work and used less than half of the prepared musical material. He felt that the main theme was too reminiscent of Morricone's music in Roman Polanski's "Tess" (1988).
