Filmmaker Almodovar walks Cruz, Banderas down memory lane in 'Pain and Glory' via SABCNewsOnline

The autobiographical narrative, where Antonio Banderas plays Pedro Almodovar’s present-day tormented alter ego, and Penelope Cruz his mother at the time of his youth, wraps up a trilogy which includes the 1987 “Law of Desire” and 2004 “Bad Education”.Pedro Almodovar premiered his retrospective drama “Pain and Glory” in Madrid on Wednesday, reuniting actors Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas, who had risen to Hollywood stardom after starting in his movies.

The 69-year-old screenwriter and director, whose films often use nonlinear plots and feature gay and transsexual characters, returns to the big screen circuit after a three-year hiatus on March 22, when his 21st movie will be released in Spain. “It was a relief, but it is a dangerous thing to play with your own life and turn it into fiction” Almodovar said of making the film while standing on the red carpet before the screening.

The elegiac “Pain and Glory” focuses on various stages in the life of a film director, the relationship with his mother, romances, and the emotional distress of not knowing whether he will be able to keep directing films.
