Latest in Antonio Banderas

Pedro Almodóvar and Antonio Banderas have made eight movies together, and their latest, Pain & Glory, may represent the high point of their collaboration. In perhaps Almodóvar's most directly autobiographical film to date, Banderas literally wears the auteur director's clothes to play a Spanish filmmaker named…

On this week’s edition of my Deadline video series The Actor’s Side, Antonio Banderas visits our studio to discuss his latest film, and eighth collaboration with Pedro Almodóvar, Pain and Glory. This is the film that won Banderas the Best Actor award at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and has put him front and…

In conversation with Deadline's Pete Hammond at Deadline’s The Contenders Los Angeles, star Antonio Banderas said Sony Pictures Classics' Pain and Glory blends both the reality and the dreams of director Pedro Almodóvar into a new sort of truth. "It's something that he calls self-fiction," Banderas said of the…

One of the highlights of this year’s Cannes Film Festival was the international unveiling of the great Spanish auteur Pedro Almodóvar's 21st film, Pain and Glory (Dolor y gloria), which is his most personal yet — a look at a film director and his memories that represents the closest thing to Almodóvar's own 8…

It points out the obvious in today’s America: the little guy is screwed, while the top 1% make all the money, know how to “launder” it, and pay no taxes.  The light approach by director…

It's been a wild year for Antonio Banderas, still riding high on the Cannes hit Pain and Glory, which brought him the Best Actor award at the French festival and was subsequently chosen, not altogether unsurprisingly, as Spain's submission in the Academy's foreign-language category. A strongly autobiographical work…

The Panama Papers, and what they revealed about complex financial systems designed to protect the uber-rich, organized crime and the fiscally immoral, are the subject of Steven Soderbergh's The Laundromat, written by Scott Z Burns.

Although Pedro Almodóvar is considered a fixture in the Cannes competition, he's only ever won the main prize once, with 2006's Volver. Indeed, after 1999's Cannes hit All About My Mother was pipped at the very last minute by the Dardenne brothers' Rosetta, the director briefly followed Woody Allen's example by…

The Feature Film Jury of the main competition for the 72nd Cannes International Film Festival has spoken, and in judging the 21 entries eligible for the Palme d’Or and other prizes, they have gone dark, very very dark.  But that isn’t atypical of past Cannes juries, who are notoriously unpredictable (which is why I…

amFAR’s glamorous annual event tied to the Cannes Film Festival always has been a highpoint in turning out the fashion looks we associate with the Riviera event. It adds to the mystique of the festival and helps set it apart from others. This year was no different in that regard — but completely different in another…

With the 72nd Cannes Film Festival winding down into its last couple of days before voting begins by Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu’s jury to select the winner of the Palme d’Or and other prizes, there is lots of speculation about who will get them come Saturday night.
