Pedro Almodóvar's reappropriations of religious concepts and motifs (especially of Catholicism) frequently provide the focal point for his critique of both the religious establishment and gender norms grounded in religion and reinforced in society. Tracing Almodóvar's critical and transformative representation of the central Christian concept of love in his cinema, in particular through the analysis of three films "about love", Law of Desire, Live Flesh, and Volver, this paper shows that the materialization of this concept in Almodóvar's oeuvre goes beyond the citation of preconceived ideas, and represents the emergence of a new vision of love, potentially transformative of individuals and societies.... view less

Pedro Almodòvars Aneignungen religiöser Konzepte und Motive (vor allem des Katholizismus) sind häufig Brennpunkt für seine Kritik des religiösen Establishment und von Geschlechternormen, die in Religionen gründen und sozial verstärkt werden. Dieser Beitrag zeichnet Almodóvars kritische und transformative Darstellung des zentralen christlichen Konzepts der Liebe in seinem Kino durch die Analyse von drei Filmen „über die Liebe“ (Das Gesetz der Begierde, Live Flesh - Mit Haut und Haar, Volver - Zurückkehren) nach und zeigt so, dass die Materialisierung dieses Konzepts in Almodóvars OEuvre über ein bloßes Zitat vorgefasster Ideen hinausgeht und das Erscheinen einer neuen Vision von Liebe darstellt, die Individuen und Gesellschaften verwandeln kann.... view less
