Taking as its starting point the meeting of two artists at a tumultuous moment in the 1980s, Almodovar's Gaze explores how the photographic lens and the cinematic lens can complement each other. American photographer Robert Mapplethorpe (1946-1989) and Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar (b. 1949) first met in Madrid in 1984, when the photographer visited the city for his first exhibition.
