Penelope Cruz Calls Her 'L'Immensita' Character 'Oppressed' Ahead of Venice Film Festival Premiere

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.

Best Actress at Oscars 2022: Latest Winner Predictions Take a Turn, Might Surprise You!

The most unpredictable category at the 2022 Oscars seems to be Best Actress and the latest predictions have taken a surprising turn.

The five actresses up for the award this year are The Eyes of Tammy Faye‘s Jessica Chastain, The Lost Daughter‘s Olivia Colman, Parallel MothersPenelope Cruz, Being the RicardosNicole Kidman, and Spencer‘s Kristen Stewart.

When awards season began last year, it seemed like Kristen was the one to beat. After the Golden Globe for Best Actress – Drama went to Nicole and Kristen was snubbed by both the SAG Awards and the BAFTAs, she was no longer the frontrunner.

The SAG Award and the Critics Choice Award went to Jessica, which then put her in frontrunner status for the Oscar. Now, major outlets are predicting someone else is going to win.

Penelope Cruz Honored at SBIFF Award 2022 & Husband Javier Bardem Looks So Proud!

Penelope Cruz wows in a gorgeous red dress while being honored at the 2022 Santa Barbara International Film Festival held at Arlington Theatre on Tuesday night (March 8) in Santa Barbara, Calif.

During a panel at the event, Penelope opened up about her off-screen romance with Javier.

“I would watch everything he did and I was shocked and blown away by his talent. And then it was a movie [Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona] that put us together… we hadn’t worked together in a long time but we had been friends… and after that movie, everything changed,” she said.

Penelope also opened up about them both getting Oscar nominations this year.

“It was crazy, it was beautiful,” she said. “I still, today, don’t believe that it has happened that way… When they announced Javier’s name for Best Actor I started to scream and he was not moving, not reacting! …He was waiting because he thought maybe they were going to say my name too, and I said ‘One, almost impossible. Two at the same time? Totally impossible.”

She added, “Then they said my name and that is when he started screaming! I loved his reaction so much, all my attention went to his generosity…what a beautiful reaction and so honest, he really could not enjoy his news until he heard my name.”

FYI: Penelope wore a Chanel dress.
