Pain and Glory 2019

Almodovár has always made personal films, and Dolor y Gloria (Pain and Glory) is one of his most autobiographical--sadly, not much has been going on in his life to base a movie on.

The cinematography is at times stunning, but the lack of cohesive story mean Pain and Glory would make a better painting than it does a film.

Still, those who love Almodovár will no doubt love this film, and with good reason. Unfortunately, for those of us who love his movies, we'll have to hold our breath and make a wish that another film comes soon.
