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.
The dialogue in the trailer is very simple…
Penélope: Stop It!
J.L. Gómez: Where are you going?
Penélope: I am leaving you, Ernesto.
J.L. Gómez: Please, Lena, please.
Penélope: Good Bye.
J.L. Gómez: Listen to me, Lena!
Penélope: Leave me alone…
Blanca Portillo: I don’t know what are you been talking about all these days. But, I do know what I did not tell tou all these years.
Lluis Homar: It is a tramp to make you come back. The ad only needs a sign claiming “Wanted”.
Penélope: What are we going to do?
Blanca Portillo: Mateo. Mateo, say something to me…
Lluis Homar: Mateo is dead.
Blanca Portillo: I don’t know what have you been talking about all these days. But, I do know what I did not tell you all these years.
Sorry
