Dark Habits ★★½ Entre Tinieblas 1984

An early Almodovar farce about already-demented nuns in a failing convent trying to raise funds with the help of a nightclub singer who is on the run. Although certainly irreverant, it doesn't quite have the zing of his later work. In Spanish with subtitles. 116m/C VHS, DVD . SP Carmen Mau-ra, Christina Pascual, Julieta Serrano, Marisa Pa-redes; D: Pedro Almodovar; W: Pedro Almodovar; C: Angel Luis Fernandez.
