Parallel Mothers at Deluxe Cinemas

Parallel Mothers

123 mins | Rated M (Sex scenes)

Directed by Pedro Almodóvar

Starring Penélope Cruz , Rossy de Palma, Julieta Serrano, Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, Milena Smit, Daniela Santiago, Israel Elejalde


The Spanish director’s latest film, starring Penélope Cruz and Milena Smit, examines the traumas of his country’s history through the story of two women giving birth at the same time, Janis and Ana, coincide in a hospital room where they are going to give birth. Both are single and became pregnant by accident. Janis, middle-aged, doesn't regret it and she is exultant. The other, Ana, an adolescent, is scared, repentant and traumatized. Janis tries to encourage her while they move like sleepwalkers along the hospital corridors. The few words they exchange in these hours will create a very close link between the two, which by chance develops and complicates, and changes their lives in a decisive way...

WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING:

"If you're already a fan of Almodovar's work this is essential viewing; if you haven't been introduced to his very special world before, Parallel Mothers will be a great place to start."
★★★★★ - The Australian

"It feels like everything that's missing from mainstream American cinema can be found in an Almodovar film, including compelling female leads and exciting stories that don't require explosions or ludicrous twists."
★★★★★ - City AM
