From TPD:
Not as famous as “All About My Mother”, not as popular as “Talk to Her”, but “Volver” is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding works of Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar. Following the green color (“Amelie”), blue (“Blue”), dark orange (“Her”), this week, let’s enjoy the special red color of “Volver”.
About the film:
VOLVER is a 2006 Spanish drama film written and directed by Pedro Almodóvar. Headed by actress Penélope Cruz, the film features an ensemble cast also starring Carmen Maura, Lola Dueñas, Blanca Portillo, Yohana Cobo, and Chus Lampreave.
Revolving around an eccentric family of women from a wind-swept region south of Madrid, Cruz plays Raimunda, a working-class woman forced to go to great lengths to protect her 14-year-old daughter Paula. To top off the family crisis, her mother Irene comes back from the dead to tie up loose ends.
VOLVER was one of the films competing for the Palme d’Or at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. It eventually won two awards: Best Actress (shared by the six main actresses) and Best Screenplay. The film’s premiere was held on March 10, 2006, in Puertollano, Spain, where the filming had taken place. Penélope Cruz was nominated for the 2006 Academy Award for Best Actress, making her the first Spanish woman ever to be nominated in that category.
