Pedro Almodóvar on All About Eve, Opening Night, Voyage to Italy & More

Among the world’s most beloved auteurs, Pedro Almodóvar has shown films at the New York Film Festival eleven times over the past four decades. This year’s selection is perhaps his most personal film yet: Pain and Glory, starring a Cannes Film Festival-awarded Antonio Banderas in the role of a director-essentially a surrogate Almodóvar figure-who has reached a creative block. As with all of his films, there is a deep wellspring of emotion in Pain and Glory, as well as a rich tapestry of allusions and references to a cinematic past, which this conversation helped elucidate. Check out a list of the films discussed below:
03:00 - All About Eve (Joseph L. Mankiewicz)
10:00 - Opening Night (John Cassavetes)
27:59 - Voyage to Italy (Roberto Rossellini)
39:50 - The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz (Luis Buñuel)
57th New York Film Festival is presented by Film at Lincoln Center from Friday, September 27 - Sunday, October 13. See ticket info, the schedule, and more: filmlinc.org/nyff

Love how Pedro quotes the great Federico García Lorca

As a Spaniard living overseas gotta say that interpreter is an absolute genius.

The interpreter is amazing!

[@willcwhite]

Yes, she is his go-to interpreter. She is so adept at jumping in when his fancy strikes to change back and forth between languages. She's a legend.
