Two pillars of cinema in their respective countries and beyond. Pinal worked with Luis Buñuel and Paredes was in the Oscar winning ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER.
neutral · AI labelView post →RIP Marisa Paredes I taught All About My Mother for many years & my students loved her in it. Almodovar gave her so many great roles as he knew how she would always give a vivacious & emotionally affecting performance. I love this pic of her in High Heels.

neutral · AI labelView post →I was 12 the first time I truly identified with a movie character. It was Agrado in Almodóvar's All About My Mother. She is warm and kind, depicted in a beautiful way, yet she's a sex worker surrounded by violence, drugs, and AIDS. Trans kids need normal, relatable trans characters.
