other parts of the world including
Hollywood starting out making short

feature films but 14 of those either got
nominated or won international awards

eccentric comedy I'm so excited
number three the story draws inspiration
from Alberto vars life pain and glory is
a Pedro almodóvar masterpiece taking
inspiration from the life of Pedro
almodóvar himself a classic case of art
imitates life although fictional this
retrospective dramatic movie primarily
anchors on the acclaimed directors own
travails Almodovar set about making the
film it was a relief but is a dangerous
thing to play with your own life and
turn it into fiction lead actor Antonio
Banderas plays Salvador Miele a film
director edging towards the twilight of
his life who is perhaps a representation
of a present-day tormented alter-ego of
El Mundo var as the aging Maya goes
through an introspection
Jiri encounters the various stages in
his life his relationship with his
mother played by Penelope Cruz during
his childhood his romances and the
emotional distress brought by a
directorial career in limbo the spanish
director clarifies this is not a biopic
of me not even a portrait but he admits
experiencing all of those paths trodden
by Banderas as character and he deeply
knows them well and used them to come up
with another memorable work number 2
