Pedro Almodóvar is set to return to the director's chair this August with his new movie Julieta.
Julieta
Julieta is based on the short stories Chance, Soon and Silence by Alice Munro and sees Almodóvar on writing duties as well as being in the director's chair.
Almodóvar has brought us terrific movies such as Volver and Broken Embraces in recent years but Julieta is his first feature since I'm So Excited back in 2013. It is great to see him back.
There's just over two weeks to go until Julieta hits the big screen here in the UK and the brand new TV spot for the film has been unveiled. Take a look:
Adriana Ugarte and Emma Suárez play the younger and older version of Julieta in what is a wonderful double performance by these talented actresses.
Ugarte and Suárez are joined on the cast list by Rossy de Palma, Michelle Jenner, Inma Cuesta, and Daniel Grao.
Julieta is a teacher of fifty five. She writes a long letter to her daughter, Antía, trying to explain all the things she has kept secret from her over the last 30 years. When she has finished her confession, she doesn't know where to post the letter.
Her daughter abandoned her when she was eighteen and Julieta hasn't heard from her in the past twelve years. She has searched everywhere, but now realises that Antía has become a total stranger to her.
Julieta is about destiny, guilt complex and the unfathomable mystery that leads some people to abandon those they love, erasing them as if they meant nothing. It is also about the pain that this brutal desertion provokes in the victim.
Julieta is a movie that has played well on the festival circuit this year - screening In Competition at Cannes - and is set to be a great character drama.
Julieta is released 26th August.
