Almodóvar’s film has gained notoriety when it obtained the Oscar prize in 2000. Public and critic praised its aesthetic and acting findings but not always warned his visionary character. This work gives account of that dimension, identifying the logic of contemporary transplants and other body transformations, analyzed in light of performative theory of Judith Butler, the modern gender perspectives, psychoanalytic theory of Jacques Lacan. Also from references to the visual arts, to Greek tragedy and contemporary theater as sources to think the problem beyond of traditional perspectives.
