Penelope Cruz visions
Cruz does not joke about the last part: when it comes to Almodóvar, he claims to have an almost mystical intuition.The filmmaker did not choose it in that first meeting - the role was for a 35 -year -old woman and she only had 18 - but during the following years, the actress continued to dream of Almodóvar and imagined in which part of Madrid could be.Then he went to the theater or the disco where he had imagined it and there, among much more conventional silhouettes, he distinguished his unmistakable hair pompon.
What do you do when you feel a connection that is both natural and supernatural?If you are like Cruz and Almodóvar, in the end you give up and make seven films together.His latest project, parallel mothers, starring Cruz who plays a mother who fights with a terrible secret, is one of the best.His finely calibrated performance was awarded the Volpi Cup at the Venice Film Festival and received the Honors for the best actress of the Los Angeles and Lanational Critics Association of Film Critics of film critics;It could also make Cruz, 47, and Oscar winner for Vicky Cristina Barcelona, has her fourth nomination for the Academy Awards.
I sent an email to Almodóvar to ask him what he thought of Cruz's mystical visions and, at first, he was tempted by the possibility of discrediting them: when they met, his routines were famous in Madrid and it was not difficult to find him.However, he said that the amazing power of Cruz's belief had proven to be the key to his employment relationship.
"Penelope has a blind faith in me," Almodóvar wrote in an extensive email.“He is convinced that I am the best director and writer than I am really.That blind faith fills me with trust to ask for anything, while the confidence that she plays to me allows her to do things during filming that, perhaps, would not dare to try with other directors because she knows that I am looking at her as throughof a thousand eyes ".
