This article examines the decisions involved in translating swear words and sexually explicit language in Pedro Almodóvar’s film ¡Átame! (“Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down!”) from Spanish into English and Polish. This analysis aims to investigate how the target culture and the film industry can influence the always-delicate task of translating obscene and strong language, and the impact of ideology and social values in the translation process.
