Pepi, Luci, Bom and Other Girls Like Mom Pedro Almodovar

Pepi, Luci, Bom y otras chicas del monton, often known generally as Pepi, Luci, Bom (English: Pepi, Luci, Bom and Other Girls on the Heap, also Pepi, Luci, Bom and Other Girls Like Mom) is a 1980 film written and directed by the Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar.

It was Almodovar's first commercial film, for which he wrote the initial script in 1978, when he worked for Telef??nica as an administrative employee and rewrote it again when he commenced shooting. The film, inspired by the punk film Bom (Alaska), is about three girls, Pepi, Luci and Bom who live in Madrid during the punk era.

After being raped by a policeman, Pepi vows revenge, persuading her friends to beat him up. However, they mistakenly attack the policeman's twin brother and so Pepi tries again, persuading his masochistic wife, Luci, to leave him for teenager punk singer Bom, from Bom y Toni Group. The three of them explore the Madrid youth scene, attending parties, clubs, concerts and meeting outrageous characters. Luci returns to her husband once he finally satisifes her by beating her up and hospitalising her. Now alone, Pepi and Bom decide to move in together.

Almodovar described the film, as a story about strong and vulnerable human beings, who devote themselves to passion, who suffer love and have fun. Spanish critics at that time took potshots at the film for its bathroom jokes, a humorous rape scene and weak cinematography. The Spanish newspaper El Peri??dico, described Almodovar as "a stubbornly passionate defender of substandard movies" while El Pa?¡s praised it as a film that "upturns with true daring the most respected taboos of our ridiculous society". Although still acknowledged as technically a poor film Pepi, Luci, Bom (as well Almodovar's next film Laberinto de pasiones) is regarded as a document of La movida, the post-Franco punk scene that developed in Madrid.

My rip. includes the extra, "An introduction to Pepi, Luci, Bom" with Jose Arroyo.
