Among other things, Almodóvar called the president a catastrophe and compared his experiences of growing up in dictator Franco's Spain with life under Trump in today's USA, reports The Guardian.
In his speech from the stage at Lincoln Center, where the filmmaker received the prestigious Chaplin Prize, he told that he had been extremely hesitant to visit a country "ruled by a narcissistic authority that does not respect human rights".
Then Almodóvar turned directly to the president:
Mr. Trump, I am speaking to you and I hope you hear what I have to say. You will go down in history as our time's greatest mistake. Your naivety is only comparable to your violent capital. You will go down in history as one of the most serious damages to humanity. You will go down in history as a catastrophe.
