Penelope Cruz: "Broken Embraces" in Barcelona Mon, 16-Mar-2009
Continuing to boost interest in her latest work, Penelope Cruz was spotted at a photo call for her new film “Broken Embraces” in Barcelona earlier today (March 16).
Following a promotional effort in Madrid on Friday, the “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” beauty playfully posed with director Pedro Almodovar as well as members of the cast ahead of the movie's March 18th release in Spanish theaters.
Talking about the thriller/drama, Almodovar recently told press that he had to be very specific about what he wanted from Miss Cruz as far as aesthetics. And in the end it all paid off.
He said, “Before beginning the tests for my film I had already decided to avoid the disheveled styles, inspired by Sophia Loren, which suit Penelope so well. After seeing the photo from Vicky Cristina Barcelona, I was even more convinced about my decision.”
“I want to try not to repeat hairstyles that Penelope has worn in other films. I really enjoy reinventing her, discovering the number of characters that reside within our beautiful and versatile leading lady.” |
