Every film by Pedro Almodovar has interesting subcultural themes and references. His work is a reaction to the heavy censoring during the Franco dictatorship, so all his early films were made to shock with crazy women, depraved nuns, transexual prostitutes and basically anything that was banned under the dictatorship but came to the surface in the movement afterwards.

For those with uniform fetishes, check out the opening sequence, of a woman Matadora being dressed for the bullfight.
