Penelope Cruz Endures Broken Embraces

Penelope Cruz and director Pedro Almodovar attend the photocall for Broken Embraces in Madrid, Spain on Friday.

The movie will feature Penelope, 34, as a blond playing a would-be actress from Spain’s provinces who is pursued by an unscrupulous financier.

Cruz was the first Spanish woman to be nominated for a non-English speaking role for Best Actress at the Oscars in 2007. She starred in Almodovar‘s last film, Volver (The Return), in which she played a woman who killed her abusive husband.

“I’m not sure that the film is going to be good, but for me the important thing is to be excited by it.”, said Almodovar.

Where’s the confidence Pedro?
