    Antonio Banderas and Penélope Cruz star in Pedro Almodóvar’s acclaimed new film

    Sedona Internatonal Film FestivalSedona AZ (December 11, 2019) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of Pedro Almodóvar’s acclaimed new film “Pain and Glory” Dec. 20-26 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    “Pain and Glory” stars Antonio Banderas and Penélope Cruz. Banderas won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival for his role in the film. Critics and audiences are raving about the film, and there is early award’s season buzz for the film, cast and director Pedro Almodóvar.

    “Pain and Glory” tells of a series of reencounters experienced by Salvador Mallo (Antonio Banderas), a film director in his physical decline. Penélope Cruz also stars in this acclaimed Pedro Almodóvar film.

    “Pain and Glory” tells of a series of reencounters 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 created by the incapacity to keep on making films.

    “Pain and Glory” talks about creation, about the difficulty of separating it from one’s own life and about the passions that give it meaning and hope. In recovering his past, Salvador finds the urgent need to recount it, and in that need he also finds his salvation.

    “Pedro Almodóvar at his best. ‘Pain and Glory’ reveals Almodóvar forging dazzling new paths.” — Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

    “Ranks right up there with Almodóvar’s greatest! Haunting images that take your breath away. Antonio Banderas in the performance of his career. This is acting of the highest order, sublime in every detail.” — Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
