Pain and Glory

In Almodóvar’s most personal film to date, Salvador Mallo (Cannes 2019 Best Actor, Antonio Banderas), a film director facing ill health, takes us through his recollection of love, breakups, art, cinema, mothers, the act of writing and making a film, and importantly the experience of desire and pleasure that seem lost to him. A ‘sensuous and deeply personal gem’ (The Guardian), nominated for Best International Film at the Oscars this year.
