Pedro Almodovar’s (“Volver”) highly anticipated film, “Broken Embraces,” has released a full-length trailer. The film stars Penelope Cruz in her native tongue of Spanish, a language which always makes for a superior performance from the actress. The trailer is completely in Spanish, so congratulations to those Spanish-speaking readers, but you still get the gist of it.
Once again back in the bosom of symbiotic muse Pedro Almodovar, we’re expecting big things from “Broken Embraces,” one of our most anticipated films of 2009. The film noir has been kept under tight wraps for some time now and this trailer and its little synopsis elucidate more than anything has so far. “Los Abrazos Rotos”: A man writes, lives and loves in the darkness. He was the victim of a brutal car accident fourteen years ago. Not only did he lose his sight, but also the woman of his life, Lena (Penelope Cruz).
Broken Embraces’ comes out in March for Spain and May in France, which leaves us to believe it will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this spring. In North America, the film will be released November 6th via Sony Pictures Classics.
