Throughout his career, filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar has explored a number of ideas over and over again. His cinematic obsession has defined him, arguably fueling what makes him one of the greats. This week, the legend not only reunites his his longtime male muse Antonio Banderas, but turns his lens on himself in a way with Pain and Glory, the closest thing to an autobiography you’re likely to see from the man. While not at the pinnacle of his filmic output, this is still very fine work, with a tremendous lead performance at its core. In some ways, it’s the film he’s been building up towards making for years. The movie is a drama, one that takes a number of cues from the filmmaker’s life. Here, we follow Salvador Mallo (Banderas), a film director in failing health, as he thinks back on a number of encounters/moments from his past.
