Pedro Almodóvar’s first film in English,  The Human Voice  (2021), was adapted from Jean Cocteau’s  La Voix humaine  (1930), which had already inspired two of his earlier films:  La ley del deseo  (1987) and  Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios  (1988). Drawing on French continental philosophy, this article examines how  La ley del deseo  approaches the themes of narcissism, bad faith, reciprocity and existential availability, which were already present in Cocteau’s work. Additionally, the conclusion argues that  La ley del deseo  can be read as prophetic in that its discourse on self-absorption still resonates today.
