Broken embraces: Rubén Ochandiano

Posted May 19, 2009

Swide gives you daily look at the rumoured Palme d'Or contenders during Cannes film festival. Watch our interview with Rubén Ochandiano, star of the new Almodovar film.

The new Almodovar film, "Los Abrazos Rotos" in its native Spanish, stars Oscar winning Penelope Cruz as a would-be actress from Spain’s provinces who is pursued by an unscrupulous financier.

The film is a four-way tale of "amour-fou" - mad, passionate love and obsessive love that mixes references to works such as Nicholas Ray's "In a Lonely Place" and Vincente Minnelli's "The Bad and the Beautiful".

A teaser from the film premiering today in Cannes is below.

The usual sultry looking Penelope has traded in her brunette locks for a blonde wig in the new film that is shot in the 1950s American film noir style and features the signature Almodóvar themes including fate, the mystery of creation, guilt, and unscrupulous power.

 The press are saying it could be a breakthrough this year for Spanish actor Ruben Ochandiano who plays alongside Miss Cruz. After meeting him - Swide couldn't agree more.
