Filmmaker Pedro Almod�var, the Luis Bu�uel of the 1980s, cooks up another perversely funny descent into urban hell in What Have I Done to Deserve This? Carmen Maura plays a middle-class housewife hemmed in by her wildly eccentric relatives. Her principal purpose in life is a balancing act: to keep her head fastened on securely while all others are losing theirs. Film buffs will have a field day toting up Almod�vars visual and verbal allusions to the works of Bu�uel, Brian De Palma, Billy Wilder, John Waters, and even Andy Warhol. What Have I Done to Deserve This? was originally titled �Que He Hecho Yo Para Merecer Esto? ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
