Trailer: “Pain & Glory”

In his intensely personal and semi-autobiographical tale, Antonio Banderas stars as Salvador Mallo – an Almodovar-like director whose growing health problems and creative block have initiated a midlife reckoning. The film flashes back to Salvador’s childhood in the sixties (with Penelope Cruz as his mother) and present-day Madrid where he navigates new artistic challenges.

Asier Etxeandia and Nora Navas co-star in the film which will arrive in cinemas on October 4th and is expected to push the long overdue to be recognised Banderas into the awards conversation.
