The TVI Take
Almodóvar's 2019 autobiographical film anchored by Antonio Banderas (Cannes Best Actor) as Salvador Mallo, an aging film director recovering from spinal surgery and revisiting his childhood. The structural commitment to letting the actual filmmaker's career-memoir register be the film's subject — and the willingness to render aging, addiction, and creative-block honestly — is rare auteur late-career work.
