Amarga Navidad, Pedro Almod\u00f3var\u2019s new feature film<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We last saw director Pedro Almod\u00f3var<\/strong> after the release of The Room Next Door<\/em><\/strong>, a poignant drama about euthanasia. For the first time, the Spanish filmmaker tried his hand at a making a feature film entirely in English. The latter masterfully orchestrated a tender narrative, swirled with snowflakes falling with a cruel delicacy on the streets of New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Led by a pair of commanding performances from Tilda Swinton<\/a> and Julianne Moore<\/a>, Pedro Almod\u00f3var<\/a>\u2019s twenty-third film earned him the Golden Lion at the 2024 Venice Film Festival<\/a> among other distinctions. It was the third prize he received in Venice, following the award for Best Screenplay for Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown<\/em> in 1988 and a Golden Lion for lifetime achievement in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is also the most-nominated director in the history of the Goya Awards – the Spanish equivalent of the C\u00e9sars – with a no less than 137 nominations. The workhorse of cinema is now immersing himself into his next project. Titled Amarga Navidad<\/em><\/strong>, his upcoming feature is very much promising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tragicomedy off the Spanish coast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Amarga Navidad<\/em><\/strong>, we follow the character of Elsa, an advertising director who has recently lost her mother in December. Dreading the idea of wallowing in grief, she throws herself into work. No distractions, no breaks, only the numbing comfort of her job. But when a panic attack forces her to take time off, Elsa sets her sights on the island of Lanzarote, in the Canary archipelago. There, she hopes to find solace with her friend Patricia and her writer partner, Bonifacio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The filming of Amarga Navidad<\/em><\/strong> has already started between Madrid and Lanzarote, two places dear to Pedro Almod\u00f3var<\/strong>. The Spanish capital remains his go-to shooting location, which Lanzarote had been previously featured in Broken Embraces<\/em> (2009), starring Pen\u00e9lope Cruz<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
