Penelope Cruz embraces Almodovar

Posted May 20, 2009

Despite a rumoured bout of food poisoning Penelope Cruz showed her determination to attend the Cannes premiere of her latest film "Broken Embraces". Directed by Pedro Almodovar, he revealed why his next film will be about men - so who his male muse will be?

Expect more male characters from Pedro Almodovar, whose credits include such female-centered films as "All About My Mother," "Volver" and "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown." According to Associated Press following the premiere of his latest film Broken Embraces (read the full piece here www.google.com/hostednews/ap).

With his latest Penelope Cruz collaboration, "Broken Embraces," Almodovar creates some equality between the sexes and says he plans to feature more men in future films.

"So far, my male characters intimidated me somewhat, because for a male character, I had to take myself as a reference," said Almodovar.

Here at Swide we can't wait to discover who his male muse will be. Until then Penelope remains his reigning muse, pictured in a very muse-worthy dress from Dolce & Gabbana.
