Dolor y gloria / Pain And Glory (2019)

A director with many health issues isolates himself in his memories and in his old works.

A film by Pedro Almodóvar that presents the traits of his typical style (real life but full of activity, colors and interaction of many well-written and detailed characters) mixed with even more drama, nostalgia and personal notes. With a very different Antonio Banderas who is in perfect harmony with the tired, emotionally blocked, slightly eccentric, melodramatic and fastidious personality of Salvador, the film manages to maintain the viewer's interest with its style, an ode to the small pleasures of life and with the intriguing detailed portraits of all the characters involved.

Director:  Pedro Almodóvar   
With: Antonio Banderas, Asier Etxeandia, Leonardo Sbaraglia, Nora Navas, Penélope Cruz

Rating: 9/10
