No previous Almodóvar. I had known who he was, but not in any specific way. Now I do.
It is his highest-rated film on IMDB and it may be his biggest hit with the critics, too. I would love to show it you some time.
I look forward to it.
Many of his baker's dozen previous films are hard to come by on DVD, and only two seem to be as well regarded as his recent ones:
That doesn't incline me against seeing them, you realize. A Canterbury Tale is not as critically well-regarded as The Red Shoes, and we know how that one turned out.
1988's Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, which established his reputation in this country, and 1999's All About My Mother (which immediately preceded Talk to Her).

Viking Zen has seen and liked Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, with which she noted some similarities to Volver; I know nothing about All About My Mother, but I note it also has Penélope Cruz, so, cool.
