In our video interview, the 59-year-old actor describes how he went to new places to find the character of Salvador Mallo, which could score Banderas his first Oscar nomination.
Almodóvar’s career is a bounty of riches, and any ranking of his work means something will surely be left out. But here, ahead of the opening of “Pain and Glory,” the director’s finest film in years, take a look back at his best movies.
Backlash over Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” has been one of the summer movie season’s major talking points.
The film won Banderas the Best Actor prize at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, and looks to be another Oscar contender from Sony Pictures Classics.
Director Pedro Almodóvar considered two backup actors because he wasn’t sure his old friend was right for the role. Banderas proved he was.
The director reunites with megastars Antonio Banderas and Penélope Cruz for his new movie.
Emmy-nominated cinematographer Mathias Herndl came up with some visual tricks to conceptualize “Picasso” (starring Emmy contender Antonio Banderas).
“Genius: Picasso” stars Banderas and Alex Rich on figuring out how to play an artist who was respected and powerful — but also very cruel.
The Spanish star was born in Picasso’s home town, and could land an Emmy nod for playing the older Picasso from his 40s to his death. Next up he plays his mentor Almodovar.
The Spanish filmmaker is reuniting with two of his biggest stars for a drama that sounds like Almodóvar’s own version of “8½.”
A colorful first trailer has both young and old Picasso seducing women with one simple pickup line: “I want to paint you.”
Both Picasso and Banderas hail from the same town in Spain, Málaga.
