Product Description

PAIN AND GLORY tells of a series of re-encounters experienced by Salvador Mallo (Antonio Banderas), a film director in his physical decline. Some of them in the flesh, others remembered: his childhood in the 60s, when he emigrated with his parents to a village in Valencia in search of prosperity, the first desire, his first adult love in the Madrid of the 80s, the pain of the breakup of that love while it was still alive and intense, writing as the only therapy to forget the unforgettable, the early discovery of cinema, and the void, the infinite void that creates the incapacity to keep on making films.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great “confessional” fictionalized autobiography... an absolutely perfect "Almodóvar"
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2021
Verified Purchase
It was good to see Almodóvar back in form.
There is nothing completely "new" or surprising here. And normally, this would be a negative. But in this case, this is simply the most-almodovaresque of all his movies of the recent two decades, and while it brings nothing entirely surprising to the screen, for long-time fans it is a perfect "summary / essence" of Almodóvar. In the movie the (fictional?) director talks about a museum wanting to do a retrospective exhibit of his paintings (and he declines), and I'd say that this movie is best described as an Almodóvar retrospective: his long-time fans will find here the echoes of many movies past, familiar scenes and motifs; settings, faces, and relationships, evoked, rather than directly referred to or quoted, but executed to perfection. Like the short, famous videoclip of Picasso painting a bull on a pane of glass with just a few quick, amazingly fluid brushstrokes is the epitome of Picasso, this film is the same thing for Almodovar.

It is gorgeously shot, with minute attention to every smallest detail in the frame. I have spent many hours discussing films (including several of his) with college film-class students, and usually referred to the 1999 Todo sober mi madre, or the 202 Hable con ella as classic examples of his style, but this is maybe even better.

Some people might find the plot a bit ensimismado = self-centered, and with the world around us gone completely crazy (in 2020-21), overindulgent musings of a famous, rich, and spoiled aging film director of campy arthouse movies is not what some people might want to spend time on, but then again, if that's the case, then they should not be watching an Almodóvar movie...

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, “Pain” and “Glory”

It is literally an exploration of pain and glory, with some people who are experiencing both simultaneously.
The ending is open to interpretation and discussion.
Any fans of the Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz, and who isn’t, should be well satisfied.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 Stars, Thoughtful and Very Nicely Made Film
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2020
Verified Purchase
Very refreshing to see Antonio Banderas in a quiet, thoughtful biography. This is a beautifully produced film in color, setting, style, but also in the story-telling. Beautiful scenes with his very religious mother & quite a believable performance by Julieta Serrano. This bio-ish movie tackles the issues of guilt, addiction, aging, illness, creative block, homosexuality, betrayal ... just a gorgeous rendering of a man's life. Director, Salvador Mallo is the lead character, who's life is far from over. Penelope Cruz plays Salavor's mother when he is a young boy. Movie is in Spanish, needing subtitles for many; but dialogue is not complicated, nor fast; following is easy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A true masterpiece
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2022
Verified Purchase
I'm not surprised about the mediocre rating, which almost kept me from watching this movie.
Watching movies and reading subtitles is not my favorite thing, but I believe that the Spanish language is essential for this film.
I was deeply touched by the affection between the two lovers, even after such a long time.
I understand how he felt after he lost his mother. How many of us found out after our parents passed away that we could have been better sons or daughters?
Antonio Banderas' acting surpassed my expectations.
I would give this movie 6 stars if I could.
Don't listen to the 1-star raters, see for yourself.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dolor y gloria
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2020
Verified Purchase
This is what's referred to these days as autofiction--a blend of autobiography and fictional narrative. It's about a film director who's creatively dried up and has turned to drugs to get through the pain of his personal losses and many physical ailments. As in many of Almodovar's movies, there are frequent flashbacks, revealing how difficult if not impossible it is for his characters to escape the past. Unfortunately, the premise wasn't developed into a story with any traction. Conflicts and problems (such as his drug addiction) are easily resolved, as if they weren't major issues after all; characters of seeming importance suddenly disappear from the script, never to return; and there's a certain reliance on timely coincidences to move the plot forward at key points. And so, though it's clearly about the director's inner crisis, the story as such doesn't have any shape, there's no tension at all. By the end, you can see that this is mostly about Almodovar's relationship with his mother, and his falling in love with a young man when Almodovar was just a kid. But there is so much other stuff swirling around that it's all out of focus. So I have mixed reactions. There's a definite atmosphere to the movie, and of course you can feast your eyes on the art direction. But I think this is mostly for hard-core aficionados.

5.0 out of 5 stars One more hit for Banderas and Almodovar
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2020
Verified Purchase
From the early stages of Antonio's career, I have been an avid fan. Not just because he is 'majisimo' but because he is a true artist and one of the best in the world. He is also a great social communicator and can help heal, connect and break barriers should he wish to do that. The movie itself was recommended twice by a couple of friends who could not share more opposing views. So I thought to myself, they have found common ground in this movie. The movie, is not exactly made for minors. It touches on the humanity and fragility of an artist and without giving you the plot of the film, I was very impressed with Antonio's performance. He does bring grief back to life and sorrow in his own unique way. Check it out! It is definitely worth it (it may not be everyone's cup of tea though so you have been warned). Overall, a great piece of art.
