Pedro Almodóvar and Penélope Cruz Embrace New Project – ‘Los Abrazos Rotos’
Pedro Almodóvar and Penélope Cruz are teaming up again, following their acclaimed collaboration on Volver. Their new project is a drama entitled Los Abrazos Rotos (Broken Embraces), which begins filming next month in Spain.Details of the plot are still unclear although Almodóvar has previously said that the movie, which he also wrote, will be shot in the “style of a 50s film noir”.
“It’s the longest script I’ve ever written,” the Spanish director told El Mundo last December. “It’s got something of film noir. There will be about an hour of American film noir from the 1950s. It won’t be a comedy but there will be humour.
“Cruz is to portray a woman who has a passionate and destructive love life. On his blog (www.pedroalmodovar.es), Almodóvar explains how he sees Cruz’s characters leading two very different lives. One life sees her “grave, hurt, pursued by fate … a fallen angel, a woman straight out from a 50s thriller translated to the 90s”. The other facet will see her “blonde, light, pop, ingénue, absurd”. Almodóvar’s blog, available in Spanish, English and French, promises to chronicle production on Los Abrazos Rotos.
