Spanish – English subtitles
Three camp and slightly bitter air stewards take their passengers, and the audience, on a wild flight to Mexico City in this colourful Spanish comedy set on an airplane. Drugs, alcohol and sexual licence abound amidst the turbulence and mishaps of the journey as both passengers and crew discover a lot more about themselves, and each other, than they previously knew.
Farcical and larger-than-life, I’m So Excited! overflows with director Pedro Almodóvar’s signature melodrama.
‘ In Pedro Almodóvar’s ecstatic return to his signature bawdy comedy, the commonplace – a flight from Madrid to Mexico – is made outrageous, and a literally heightened atmosphere returns a group of variously suspended characters to the world’ – SBS
