Sony: Pedro Almodovar's Pain and Glory Heading to Blu-ray

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray Pedro Almodovar's latest film, Pain and Glory (2019), starring Asier Etxeandia, Julieta Serrano, Antonio Banderas, Penélope Cruz, and Kiti Mánver. The release will be available for purchase on January 21.

Synopsis: PAIN AND GLORY tells of a series of re-encounters 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 that creates the incapacity to keep on making films.

Special Features:

• Q&A with Director Pedro Almodóvar & Antonio Banderas – Antonio Banderas, Director Pedro Almodóvar, Composer Alberto Iglesias, and Producer Agustín Almodóvar discuss the creative process and genesis of PAIN AND GLORY.
• Pedro Almodóvar: In His Own Words – Pedro Almodóvar on La Movida Madrileña, his visual style, early inspirations, and his lengthy collaborations with Antonio Banderas and Penélope Cruz.
