This research presents an analysis of the portrayal of deviance in Pedro Almodóvar s early movies, based upon the Sociology of Deviance by Goffman, Becker and Elias, reviewed through Yoshino s covering theory. The purpose of the work is to review the movies produced by Almodóvar in the early 80 s, in order to prove that features like Pepi, Luci, Bom and other girls on the heap (1980), Labyrinth of Passion (1982), Bad habits (1983) and What have I done to deserve this? (1984) register his commitment in the countercultural dynamics developed in Spain at the time. Almodóvar portrays deviants in his movies of the period, configuring what some critics name aesthetics of bad taste , in such a way that the films produced register the fight for democratic freedom after years of dictatorship. To think about Almodóvar s cinematography from the point of view of the sociology of deviance is to reflect about the visibility of cultural minorities identities. The work of the director presents less formal innovations, as he uses classical narrative structures, even when mixing genres; but innovates when reveals deviance, from a day-by-day perspective, empowering the process of its assimilation.
