This diary entry continues on Pedro Almodovar’s website, which also includes other entries and is being updated as production continues. Once again, I have the feeling of handling a story (fable, treasure and secret) in which I am anxious to engross myself… With “Volver” the answer is certainly yes. My first question is always similar: Will I feel the same passion I felt the last fifteen times about the new story? Without an answer to questions such as this one, it is best to avoid getting involved in a new project. What actually happens is that the director is driving a train with no brakes, and his job is to make sure that the train isn’t derailed. The adventure’s worth isn’t proportional to the number of answers one finds along the way, it is directly proportional to the resistance of the members involved.
I’m the ice breaker, the chimney that heats up the atmosphere, the mother-father-psychiatrist-lover-friend who, with a simple word, can help you regain your self confidence.įilms, the collection of all the processes that make up a film, entail a huge bundle of questions and thus the adventurous nature of a shooting. But that’s what it means, amongst other things, to be a director (at least, in a European country). Despite the fact that the role assigned to me in this circus is that of the tamer, it doesn’t mean that it’s easy for me to break the ice. I’m extremely agitated about this meeting. I worked with Lola in “ Hable con Ella“-“Talk to Her” (she was a nurse, a fellow worker of Javier Camara) and I felt like repeating the experience.

And two additional come backs, full of sense and sensibility: Penelope Cruz, with whom I’ve worked twice before, an actress and a woman whom I adore both inside and outside of the sets. It is about the way (not tragic at all) in which various female characters, of different generations, deal with this culture.Īt the opposite side of my table, at my office in El Deseo, are three of the actresses that will star in “Volver.” Each of them embodies an important come back: The most awaited, Carmen Maura. The screenplay is called “ Volver,” and it is precisely about death, but it deals with this subject in a less anguished manner than that of the man who fell asleep watching “Bad Education.” More than about death itself, the screenplay talks about the rich culture that surrounds death in the region of La Mancha, where I was born. The spontaneous fan goes off to buy the book and I leave for my office where I have a meeting with three women and a screenplay. But the three of us think that the years haven’t granted us that inner peace we heard so much about. “The Lemon Table.” It’s a collection of short stories about death and the failure of elderly people to achieve serenity. Amongst other things he says that the myth stating that maturity brings serenity is a lie. I’ve just read an interview with Julian Barnes, the British writer, where he discusses his last book of short stories. And, to make matters worse, I’m also appallingly afraid of death.
My psychiatrist told me that these problems usually arise when one is around fifty. You are falling asleep because of the pills, not because of my film!ĭon’t you suffer from anxiety, anguish or desperation, he asks, unaware that his words are the lyrics of a bolero.
Then, there’s no doubt, I tell him emphatically, that has to be the explanation. And, also… I’m currently taking some medication to curb anxiety and the doctor warned me that it could make me sleepy. It’s a really pleasant feeling, I mean it as a compliment. Well, I don’t know what to tell you, I say.ĭon’t be offended, he adds, it’s just that when I like something a lot it relaxes me so much that I can actually go to sleep.
