The director, whose initial films characterised the sense of sexual and political freedom in the 1980s, achieved international recognition for his black comedy-drama film "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown". It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. His 1999 film "All About My Mother" received Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, while "Talk to Her" (2002) earned him the award for Best Original Screenplay. He believes writers are held back from writing stories about the sexuality of superheroes due to "a kind of self-censorship". "There are many, many movies about superheroes. And sexuality doesn't exist for superheroes. They are neutered. There is an unidentified gender, the adventure is what's important. "You can find, among independent movies, more of this sexuality.
