I’m surprised Pedro hasn’t been recognized by Criterion. I haven’t seen all of his films yet, but from what I have seen I would think he would have at least one film in the collection by now. Talk To Her was the first Pedro film I saw, and I was floored by it. From what I’ve seen, Talk To Her would be my first pick for the Criterion treatment.
I doubt that Sony is likely to loosen their grip on the DVD rights for Talk to Her, Volver, or any of the films in the “Almodovar Collection” box set. One of his early films, Dark Habits perhaps, maybe.
An Eclipse of Early Almodóvar would be nice.

Why hasn’t Pedro been recognized by the Criterion Collection. If nothing else, his masterpiece Talk To Her totally belongs in this list. Thoughts?
