Pedro Almodóvar bounces back with an absorbing saga of a mother and daughter told in an interesting style. A woman feels isolated, powerless, alone and anguished about what has happened in her life. Is any of it her fault? Or is all of it her fault? How do we hold relationships together, or do they fall apart no matter what we do? Highly rewarding dramas still exist; they don’t all go begging for Oscar nominations… just learn to read subtitles and you too can find out how the rest of the world lives.

Pedro Almodóvar's Julieta, based on three short stories by Alice Munro and featuring Emma Suarez, Adriana Ugarte, Daniel Grao, Inma Cuesta, Dario Grandinetti, Michelle Jenner, Pilar Castro, Nathalie Poza, Susi Sanchez, Joaquin Notario, Priscilla Delgado, Blanca Pares, Ariadna Martin and Rossy de Palma, opens in Spain today, and we're collecting the first round of reviews in English. For Variety's Peter Debruge, "While Julieta represents a welcome return to the female-centric storytelling that has earned Almodóvar his greatest acclaim, it is far from this reformed renegade’s strongest or most entertaining work. Instead, following the high-altitude frivolity of I’m So Excited, the director’s relatively tame 20th feature finds him once again adopting a serious (read, 'respectable') attitude, eschewing comedy and high-camp melodrama in favor of plain old mellow drama." » - David Hudson...

There are plenty of movies we’re hoping we’ll make the red carpet at Cannes, but one that’s almost a near certainty is Pedro Almodovar’s “Julieta.” The filmmaker is back three years after his not so well received “I’m So Excited!” and five years following his underrated “The Skin I Live In.” Today we get our biggest peek yet at what he’s pulled together with a batch of new photos.

In case the slew of Super Bowl trailers and TV spots last night wasn't enough, this morning you can kick off your day with a brand new promo for one of the year's most anticipated films, at least among cinephile circles — Pedro Almodóvar's "Julieta." Read More: The 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2016 Emma Suárez and Adriana Ugarte lead the ensemble which also includes Inma Cuesta, Rossy de Palma, Nathalie Poza, Pilar Castro, Darío Grandinetti, Daniel Grao, Joaquín Notario, and Blanca Parés, in the drama which follows the tumultuous life of Julieta across 30 years, from 1985 to 2015. Spain will get the film first on April 8th. Sony Pictures Classics will release the picture in the U.S., but no date has been set just yet.

Superheroes, blockbusters and spectacle await audiences at the multiplex in the coming year, but for those with a more discerning palate, Pedro Almodóvar's "Julieta" is one of 2016's highly anticipated cinematic meals. And another taste has arrived with a new poster for the film. Read More: The Films of Pedro Almodóvar: A Retrospective Emma Suárez and Adriana Ugarte lead the drama which tracks the tumultuous life of Julieta across 30 years, from 1985 to 2015. Inma Cuesta, Rossy de Palma, Nathalie Poza, Pilar Castro, Darío Grandinetti, Daniel Grao, Joaquín Notario, and Blanca Parés, round out the supporting cast for this effort, which is coming very soon... at least overseas. "Julieta" opens in Spain on April 8th. No word yet on a U.S. release date, but Sony Pictures Classics will be handling the picture stateside.

It doesn't have to be said, but a new film from Pedro Almodóvar is kind of a big deal; thus it's no surprise that his upcoming "Julieta" ranked pretty high on our 100 Most Anticipated Films Of 2016. And this morning, our excitement got stoked just a little bit more with the arrival of the first international trailer. Led by Emma Suárez and Adriana Ugarte, and co-starring Inma Cuesta, Rossy de Palma, Nathalie Poza, Pilar Castro, Darío Grandinetti, Daniel Grao, Joaquín Notario, and Blanca Parés, the drama tracks the tumultuous life of Julieta across 30 years, from 1985 to 2015.  "Julieta" opens in Spain on April 8th. No word yet on a U.S. release date. Watch below (sorry, no English subs yet for this one).

Filmmaker Pedro Almodovar is finally back with a new film, "Julieta," and today it has scored its enigmatic first international trailer. Tracking the life of a woman from 1985 to 2015, the film boasts a cast that includes Emma Suarez, Adriana Ugarte, Inma Cuesta, Rossy de Palma, Nathalie Poza, Pilar Castro, Dario Grandinetti, Daniel Grao, Joaquin Notario, and Blanca Pares. It is currently set for release in Spain on April 8th.

If one dared to dream, perhaps Pedro Almodovar will have his latest film "Silencio" ready in time for the fall festival circuit. While the Cannes Film Festival has long been a second home for the filmmaker, maybe the unveiling of the first official poster means that things are further along than expected. And I didn't realize this, but earlier this spring, Screen Daily revealed the film had a release date in Spain slated for March 18, 2016. Hmmm.... At any rate, what we know so far is that Emma Suarez and Adriana Ugarte lead the movie (and are featured on the poster), with Inma Cuesta, Rossy de Palma, Nathalie Pozo, Pilar Castro, Dario Grandinetti, Daniel Grao, Joaquin Notario, and Blanca Pares in support. The drama tracks the tumultuous life of Juliet across thirty years, from 1985 to 2015. Really, this could be about someone sitting in a room for two hours, and I'd still be excited.

While a certain segment of movie fans are desperately poring over whatever set snaps arrive from "Suicide Squad," I'm way more excited for these official production photos from "Silencio." Pedro Almodovar is now rolling on his next movie, which is always a reason to pay attention, and his production company revealed the first couple of photos from the set. Certainly, his knack for color is very much in effect. Emma Suarez and Adriana Ugarte lead the movie with Inma Cuesta, Rossy de Palma, Nathalie Pozo, Pilar Castro, Dario Grandinetti, Daniel Grao, Joaquin Notario, and Blanca Pares in support, in the story of the tumultuous life of Juliet, tracking the character across thirty years from 1985 to 2015.

While not prolific in the vein of Woody Allen, Pedro Almodovar usually doesn't let two or three years pass without delivering a new movie. And right on schedule, his next effort, "Silencio," is gearing up. Word first emerged on the project at the beginning of the year, and now much more has been revealed as casting has been put in place. And this time around, Almodovar is choosing new faces to work with instead of his usual ensemble roster of players. Emma Suarez and Ariadna Ugarte have been cast in the lead roles, with Inma Cuesta, Rosy de Palma, Nathalia Pozo, Pilar Castro, Dario Grandinetti, Daniel Grao, Joaquin Notario, and Blanca Pares in support, with the film finding the director going back into dramatic territory following the frothy "I'm So Excited!" Here's the synopsis via THR: The film tells of a 30-year time span in Juliet’s life, starting from...
