Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar makes clear that 'Pain and Glory' is not his last film, and it's not his life story, so no need to be so delicate with him.
Pedro Almodóvar is ready to put one slightly out-of-hand rumor to rest right now: “Pain and Glory” will not be his last cinematic effort. Somehow, that was the hot take following the melodrama’s release in Spain and its international debut to rapturous reviews at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. In fact, while “Pain and Glory” does center on a fictional filmmaker who bears a more-than-passing resemblance to Almodóvar, the emphasis should be on “resemblance.
What the 69-year-old filmmaker does admit, however, is that the fear the audience sees in Banderas’ character about not being able to direct again is something he lived through at the time. Especially “right after the operation where I thought I might not ever be able to shoot a film again.”“Pain and Glory” finds the 60-something Mallo in a rut due to both his health and the somewhat recent death of his mother .
“You know, my biography is in the rest of the 20 movies that I have done in the past,” Almodóvar says. “I don’t mind if these people think this is my life and this is a self-portrait, but it’s a movie. You always develop, mix fiction and reality. And also, when I say that I am very present in the movie, it’s not only me. [It’s] the memories of my brothers, my sisters and my friends, so everything that happens in the movie, it is indeed very familiar to me.
