Antonio Banderas won Best Actor at Cannes (and more) for his excellent portrayal of a film director dealing with with current pain and past glory. Director/writer Pedro Almadóvar gives us the languid story featuring, among others, Penelope Cruz in flashbacks as Banderas' mother and Asier Etxeandia as an actor in Banderas' character's most famous work.
Almadóvar's work is literally colorful, once again, thanks to director of photography José Luis Alcaine.
The score by Alberto Iglesias can be streamed on Apple Music and Spotify, among others.
Banderas was last blogged for The Laundromat, Almadóvar for Broken Embraces, Cruz for Everybody Knows, Alcaine for Everybody Knows, Iglesias for Julieta.
The movie is in Spanish with subtitles, but that didn't take away from enjoyment by me, Rotten Tomatoes' critics at 97%, nor its audiences at 91.
