Pedro Almodóvar on Spanish cinema and how growing up under a dictatorship shaped him as a filmmaker
Ойын-сауық
Pedro Almodóvar helped cement Spain’s place in cinematic history with bold films that are colourful, provocative and full of dramatic plot twists. But his defiant spirit and transgressive filmmaking style was hard-earned. Fresh off his second English-language project, Strange Way of Life, Pedro sits down with Tom Power to reflect on his upbringing, creative freedom, and what he loves about working with actors like Antonio Banderas and Penélope Cruz.

“Freedom has to be public … supported by the society around you.” This is so profound & true & lacking in many so-called democratic societies. I love this man ❤️
Great interview, very insightful. A side note, he says "Alemania", which is Germany in Spanish, not Albania.
Truly enjoyed this! Thank you Tom. He said so many profound things to be pondered and relished.
While Almadovar speaks in Spanish about the three dictatorships the captioning translates Alemania as Albania rather than the accurate which is Germany. He mentions the three as Germany, Italy and Spain.
Great interview. It’s so important to understand this history which still lives in the background political culture. Blood family and work family still carry the unconscious maladaptive behaviours from this control. It allows us to understand people as reactions in a wake. As Picasso said, art is a lie that tells the truth. Why we need art.
His English has improved considerably
A genial Spanish director the best works is a level of Buñuel for exemple in my opinion
I love Pedro but he might be mis remembering Magambo as a kid. Leslie Howard was not in it he died years before in the war
