Pain and Glory — official trailer
What is Pain and Glory about?
Salvador Mallo, a filmmaker in the twilight of his career, remembers his life: his mother, his lovers, the actors he worked with. The sixties in a small village in Valencia, the eighties in Madrid, the present, when he feels an immeasurable emptiness, facing his mortality, the incapability of continuing filming, the impossibility of separating creation from his own life. The need of narrating his past can be his salvation.
Pain and Glory is a 2019 Spanish drama film, written and directed by Pedro Almodóvar. It stars Antonio Banderas as an aging and ailing film director who reflects on his life. The supporting cast features Asier Etxeandia, Leonardo Sbaraglia, Nora Navas, Julieta Serrano, and Penélope Cruz.
