The film "Pain and Glory" is highly appreciated by both film critics and ordinary viewers. There hasn't been a premiere in Russia yet. Less than two weeks left before her. The main character of the film is a famous director who recalls his entire past life.
Pain and Glory will be available for viewing in Russian cinemas in mid-June. The premiere will take place on the 12th. Interestingly, the Spaniards watched it back in March. The film received the most rave reviews from both ordinary viewers and eminent film critics.
Features of the film
First of all, it should be noted the unique cast. A whole team of talented stars has gathered in one picture. Among them, for example, Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas. Cecilia Roth, Raul Arevalo and many other famous actors will appear along with them. Viewers note that they are ready to watch the film just in order to see Banderos and Cruz together.
The film was directed by Pedro Almodovar. He himself described the genre of his creation as "drama". But at the same time, the picture after viewing does not leave an unpleasant painful "aftertaste", like many other Spanish drama films. The script was also written by Pedro.
We should also talk about music separately. She is given special attention in the new product. Alberto Iglesias became the composer of the picture. Thanks to him, the most important scenes are accompanied by stunning depths and compositions. The music for the film Pain and Glory has already won several awards.
The picture turned out to be quite long. After editing, it took 113 minutes. This is slightly longer than the usual standard.
Since in other countries (for example, in Spain) the premiere of the movie took place much earlier - back in March, the amount of box office receipts is already known. In the spring, the film grossed over $ 12 million. The creators of the picture assume that it will be successful in Russia as well.
The trailer for the novelty turned out to be very touching and heartfelt. He tells part of the plot and introduces the audience to the main characters. At the same time, he does not reveal the main secrets.
