Penelope Cruz turned heads in two amazing looks at the 2022 Venice Film Festival this weekend!
The 48-year-old actress wore a checkered flag print dress for the photo call of her new film, L’immensità, before switching into vibrant pink and black look later on for the premiere on Sunday (September 4) in Venice, Italy.
For both events, Penelope joined her co-stars including Penelope Nieto Conti, Maria Chiara Goretti, Luana Giuliani, Patrizio Francioni and Vincenzo Amato, as well as director Emanuele Crialese on the red carpet.
Set in the 1970s, L’Immensità centers on Clara, a mother of three who, while contending with a violent Italian husband, winds up in a psychiatric institution.
“I don’t think my character is crazy at all,” Penelope shared with Variety. “She is trapped in her family. Trapped in her home, in her body. In the situation in which she finds herself living. She doesn’t have a plan B. There is no escape.”
She added that Clara is actually “oppressed in many different ways. And she simply can’t take it anymore. There are many women around the world trapped in their homes, who pretend in front of their children. They try to pretend that things aren’t that bad. They do this to survive.”
FYI: Penelope wore Chanel for both the premiere and photo call.
