Dark Habits

Dark Habits (Entre tinieblas, 1983) is a Spanish comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Pedro Almodóvar and starring Cristina Sánchez Pascual. A nightclub singer on the run from police ends up sheltered inside a convent for fallen women.

The Mother Superior, played by Julieta Serrano, has a particular fascination with sin. The sisters around her — Carmen Maura, Marisa Paredes, Cecilia Roth — conceal surprising obsessions beneath their habits. Early Almodóvar is already fully himself here: the provocation plays as absurdist farce, and underneath it runs a quiet current of longing and loneliness. The film that shows exactly where the director of All About My Mother came from. Watch Dark Habits (1983) online on iFILM.
