“Pain and Glory” brings an awesome trio together again, starring Antonio Bandaras and Penelope Cruz and directed by the great Pedro Almodóvar. “Pain and Glory” tells the story of a film director in his physical decline. The man looks back into the past, and a stream of vivid memories falls upon him. He recalls such moments from his youth as tender feelings for his mother, love and separation, the search for happiness and success. All this leads the master of cinema to important thoughts about life and art. So many small scenes add up to a lovely memories and valuable insights about the big picture. Painful for sure, but glorious too.
