TheWrap.com recently had a showing of Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar’s newest film, one that has been getting plenty of Oscar buzz: The Skin I Live In (La piel que habito). Best known for classics like Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down, Woman on the Edge of a Nervous Breakdown, Volver, and others, this Spanish-Language thriller–as many of Almodovar’s—includes faces that are highly recognizable to North American audiences, including Antonio Banderas, who has enjoyed a bit of a comeback in 2010.
Almodóvar himself was at the Wrap screening in L.A., and Se Fija managed to get some long-distance but still fascinating footage of the conversation he had on stage after the film was shown. The subjects are wide-ranging, Almodovar is charming, and though he has a translator close at hand, his English is more than serviceable. Eavesdrop on a bit of this interview below, or click on over to the Se Fija! channel on YouTube.
