Laberinto de pasiones (Labyrinth of Passion) was Pedro Almodóvar's second feature film, released in Spain in the autumn of 1982. It followed his debut, Pepi, Luci, Bom, and came while Madrid's countercultural scene, known as the Movida madrileña, was in full bloom after the end of the Franco dictatorship.
The film is a chaotic, colourful comedy of romantic entanglements set in Madrid, with a large ensemble cast that included Cecilia Roth and a young Antonio Banderas in an early screen role. It mixed pop, camp humour and sexual freedom, themes that would define much of Almodóvar's early work.
One of its best-known moments was the song 'Suck it to me', performed by Almodóvar himself together with the actor and performer Fabio McNamara. The pair had already appeared together in Madrid's nightlife and music circuit, where they performed as a duo. The number became a cult emblem of the Movida and of Almodóvar's irreverent early image, which is why it is recalled when he returns to singing it.
