«Madres paralelas»: shooting of the new film by Almodóvar with Penélope Cruz has started

Two years on Pain and glory, considered by many to be his most intimate and personal work, Pedro Almodovar returns to the female universe, its secrets and its contradictions. It will do it in Parallel Mothers, his twenty-third feature film which will hit its first take in Spain towards the end of March. The project, which will be produced by the same production company as Almodóvar, The desire, will allow the director to work once again with his muse Penelope Cruz, that in Pain and glory she was dressed as the mother of her alter-ego, played by Antonio Banderas.

«I will return to the female universe, to the themes of motherhood and the family. I will talk about the importance of ancestors and descendants. The inevitable presence of memory “said Almodóvar explaining that, together with Cruz, the cast will also be enriched by Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, Milena Smit and Israel Elejalde. “There are so many mothers in my filmography, but the ones who are part of this story are really different. Penélope Cruz, Aitana Sánchez Gijón and the young Milena Smit will play three mothers, while Israel Elejalde will be the male protagonist ».

«I can also count on the collaboration of my beloved Julieta Serrano and Rossy de Palma. Parallel Mothers it will be an intense drama, or at least I hope so “ concludes the director who, we are sure, will not disappoint expectations this time either. His unmistakable style, combined with the strength of the cast and the sizzle of the screenplay are, by now, a trademark that millions of admirers around the world study and appreciate, looking forward to the next works that the master will give to the world.
