“Todo Sobre Mi Madre” Takes to the Stage
Director Pedro Almodóvar has given the thumbs up to the theater adaptation of his 1999 acclaimed film “Todo Sobre Mi Madre”. The London theater house was paid a visit by him and the seemingly makeup-less Penelope Cruz, who starred in the film. Of the film’s adaptation he says:
“Sólo he participado en la adaptación de la obra, me han consultado y he dado algunas sugerencias. De hecho, así lo estipulaba el contrato”, explicó Almodóvar, señalando que la dirección ha estado totalmente a cargo del irlandés Tom Cairns. “Yo no me he metido. Y la verdad es que está muy bien, y los actores están geniales”, recalcó.
“I have only participated in the adaptation of the play, they have consulted me and I have given some suggestions. As a matter of fact, that’s how it was stipulated in the contract”, explained Almodóvar, who pointed out that the directing has been totally at the hands of Irishman Tom Cairns. “I have not intervened. And the truth is that it is real good, and the actors are brilliant”, he said.
How flattering it must be that nearly a decade after the film’s release, there’s still a market for the film! It’s nice to see how Latin cinema has gone global in just the last ten years alone. And it’s only going to get better!
