Though written before "Matador", "Law of Desire" was produced after Matador's international release. "Law of Desire" was shot in Madrid and Cádiz in the latter part of 1986. It was the first film that came out from El Deseo, the production company that Almodóvar formed in company with his younger brother Agustín and with which he has produced all his subsequent films. It was the experience of working with the producer of "Matador" that led the path to the Almodóvar brothers to become producers following the model of selling the film before its release. With my first five films I had the impression of having had five children with five different fathers and of always fighting with each one of them, since my films belonged to them, from a financial point of view, but also on an artistic level, that is, on the level of a conception, Almodóvar commented.
