Refugio
: demasiado locuaz (it's an adjective, as you point out) ... I think the contraction here is not a possessive but short for "Almodovar is"

tendencia a parlotear/el parloteo
En este caso lo diría así. "la tendencia de Almodovar a parlotear sobre los transexuales" o "el parloteo de A. sobre...". En todos los diccionarios se traduce en términos un poco despectivos como parlanchín o charlatán
