7. Pain and Glory


7. Pain and Glory
I have always been a huge fan of Pedro Almodóvar, I am positive he is irrefutably one of the great directors not only in Spanish but of world cinema. This new movie has made us drop more than one tear, too. Pain and Glory is a reflection on his own career, on his legacy, on everything he has lived from his relationship with his mother in childhood to his passion for cinema in adulthood. It is an exciting journey that constantly mixes reality and fiction, with an absolutely fantastic Antonio Banderas, which by the way Almodovar is the only the director who can make Banderas really shine, I don’t like most of his acting jobs except the ones with Pedro. This film you get nominations for the 2020 Oscars, no doubt.
