April 4, 2020 – Pain and Glory (2019) Screener
When I think of Pedro Almodovar movies, I think of bright colors, high energy, sex, and melodrama. The latest Almodover film is Pain and Glory, and it is not the work of a young man. This movie is about an aging filmmaker who suffers from writer’s block and chronic illness. The movie is well made, but not the comfort or distraction I am looking for in these troubled times. I prefer there be no illness in my Shelter-In-Place Films.
