Pedro Almodovar Retrospective
Revisit eight of the Spanish auteur's very best films on the big screen.
Pedro Almodรณvar has made many a fantastic film over the past four decades. In 2019, however, the Spanish director added one of his greatest movies yet to his resume. We're talking about Pain and Glory. If you saw it, you likely loved it. And, if you hadn't already watched your way through the inimitable auteur's back catalogue before then, the Academy Award-nominee should've inspired you to do just that.
You've had a couple of years to start your viewing, of course โ and plenty of time over the past 12 months, in fact. But whether you still have some gaps or you're fond of the big-screen experience, Dendy Newtown is giving you a chance to check out eight of Almodรณvar's standouts in a cinema.
Until Wednesday, April 7, you can swoon over his emotionally charged dramas and rove your eyes over his colourful frames. No one makes movies quite like him, as this retrospective shows. Get ready to spend plenty of time staring at two of his favourite actors, too, with Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz each popping up regularly in the director's work.
On the lineup: Banderas being exceptional in Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, The Skin I Live In and the aforementioned Pain and Glory, plus Cruz at her stellar best in Volver, Broken Embraces and Oscar-winner All About My Mother. Almodรณvar's second most recent movie, Julieta, is also on the bill, so you'll be getting an impressive cross-section of his career.
As always with Dendy's retrospectives and film seasons, different movies play on different dates and at various times โ so head to the cinema's website for the full session details.
