Almodovar to Sony Picture Classics

On September 2nd, 2008

Apparently, Sony Picture Classics persuade Pedro Almodovar to Broken Embraces, the director’s latest alliance with actress Penelope Cruz that he also scripted. 

The film also stars Almodovar friends Lluis Homar and Blanca Portillo.  The film has been reported several times to be shot in the style of 1950s American film noir. Almodovar is filming on location in Madrid and the Canary Islands.

The story engages four people in a love story and “touches on many genres,” including thriller, according to Variety.

The film will be the 10th Almodovar film from Sony’s specialty arm. Filmmaker calls the film movie “the most novel-like story I have written to date” and says its shadowy look was partly inspired by a series of migraines that rendered him ultra-sensitive to bright lights.
