Paul Julian Smith is one of the greatest scholars of Pedro Almodovar in the UK with many academic publications and press about his films in various magazines and generalists. Smith ignited the fuse of controversy last tuesday with an article published in The Guardian entitled The Curse of Almodovar. In the article, PJS writes that “a super name” (like Almodovar) can capture the interest of the national film industry and “monopolize international interest.”
