Too Much: The Flower of My Secret + Wine Tasting

Spain has given us one of the greatest icons of film so come and sample some of its iconic wines with us. Our bar manager Helen will take you through a tasting of two beautiful Spanish wines; one a little more surprising and one that could not be more classic. Tickets to film only available on our website.
Filled with melodrama, tears, and wonderfully inventive dialogue, Pedro Almodóvar's (Volver) The Flower of My Secret contemplates the insecurities of an artist and their relationship to their work.
For 20 years, Leo Macías (Marisa Paredes) has been the self-loathing author behind Amanda Gris, a nom de plume credited with a series of wildly popular “pink novels.” Hoping to transition to darker, more realistic work, Leo submits a manuscript about a woman who hides her dead husband’s body in a refrigerator after their daughter kills him during an attempted rape, leading her unimpressed publisher to contractually forbid her from writing anything without a cheery ending.
As an outlet, Leo takes up another pseudonym to critique her own work for a local paper, whose editor Ángel (Juan Echanove) is a hopeless romantic and devout fan of Amanda Gris’ work.
Too Much: Melodrama on film is a UK-wide season, supported by BFI National Lottery funding, celebrating the vivid visual language, heightened dramatics and emotional pathos at the heart of film melodrama.
