CANNES, France - Pedro Almodovar is used to a good reception from what he called “faithful” audiences in France - so much so, the director joked on Saturday that he was “Franco-Spanish”.
“Pain and Glory” reunites Almodovar long-time collaborators Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz in a wistful dive into the world of cinema and the highs and lows of creativity. From a scene about Salvador’s sexual awakening to a tense discussion with his mother, many episodes were invented, he said, adding though his experiences had informed the fiction.
Cruz, who featured in “All About My Mother” and “Volver” among other Almodovar classics, said she had felt unusually shy about grilling the filmmaker in preparation for “Pain And Glory”, where she plays the protagonist’s mother.
