This year everything was different. Penelope has changed and flourished both as a woman and as an actress. Presented in Cannes is a great film by Pedro Almodovar "Return", which probably played one of his best roles, earning flattering and fair comparison with such great Actresses like Anna Magnani and Sophia Loren. A bright red dress it snapped in the wind, and I had a wonderful opportunity to see her very long and beautiful legs, which - thanks to the sea breeze from time to time opened a little more than she wanted it Penelope.
Pedro has increased me "centre of gravity"
- Almodóvar excitedly told me how he added some weight parts of your beautiful body.
Penelope frowns, and instructive raises a finger:
- Only one part! My ass. I have it too fine! Because since childhood I studied ballet and because all such air. The main expressive part of my body - arms.
It is very important to weight the bottom of my heroine, Raimondi, because she is very down to earth woman. When I tried on dresses with overlaid backwards, everything fell into place. It was extremely helpful posture has changed, I became a different move. But everything else you see on the screen, my natural! these are the words on his knees Penelope smartphone with a crash fell to the floor, she leaned over to him to raise, and I looked in deep neckline Spanish beauties, fully convinced of its correctness. In the course of our conversation Penelope repeatedly dropped my phone and every time I was happily convinced that her bust Almodovar increase was not necessary.
You on top of your beauty. Feel it when you look at yourself in the mirror?
"No, when I look at myself in the mirror, I think: "too much work". But when I watch "the Return", I see not only what Pedro pulled out of me as of an actress, but as filming me his camera. I felt very loved.
- Your face is on the cover of all glamour magazines. And in the movies you best manage the role of ordinary women.
As an actress it is important for me to change. For example, in the Italian film "don't go" I looked horrible because my role demanded. And I'm proud of this role. Much more important to me freedom than the ability to see myself on the cover!
- "Don't leave" Sergio Castellito - tragic love story of a married prosperous surgeon and poor, unlucky cleaners - was an excellent film. And your role in it - like a rehearsal of "Return"?
I had to play in Italian, without an accent. With the teacher's language we almost killed each other. He was very tolerant, but nerves could not stand. We had just a month. Because the learning process was like a military camp. But, when we have achieved the desired result, I was happy.
Everything about her mother
- On assignment Almodovar you had to study the masterpieces of Italian neorealism with Anna Magnani and Claudia Cardinale, who created unforgettable images of mothers.
I watched them before, this is my favorite films. It was for me and homework, and a lot of fun. As Anna Magnani and Meryl Streep, in my opinion, the two best Actresses in the history of cinema. But the task to imitate them, I was not.
- The main thing in the film Almodovar - relations Raimondi with the Ghost of her mother. And what is your relationship with your mother?
- Stunning! She is very young, she is only 52 years. So we are very close, Encarna is my best friend. When I was a kid, we didn't have a lot of money. Parents had to work hard to earn us for food, clothes and education. I understand heroines "Return", to me and most had to suffer and to seek a way out of all these difficulties. All I saw in my childhood, these women, their work. I looked at them and realized that also going to plow all my life. So, in General, and succeeded.
- But now you can make the whole family comfortable existence! You for a couple of months earn more than they are for life.
It's great that now I can travel with her mother. In childhood we also traveled four hours by bus. It was fine, but now I can show her the world!
By nature I am a lioness
- You want children? What kind of mother would you be?
Every day I think about it, even from childhood! Would like two or three children, and maybe even more! But now I have too much work, live alternately in the two countries. I just turned 32, so that time is still full!
- Raimund takes offense daughter. And what would you go for the sake of the child?
When it comes to my family, I turn into a lioness! By nature I am a defender. Become a mother for friends, relatives, even parents, in all their care. My brother Eduardo, for example, although he is a big boy - he was 21 years old. He is a musician, his songs entered the charts in Latin music. We never showered each other their feelings, but suddenly he wrote a song about me and my sister. Admitted to us in love! This is the most amazing gift that I have in my life.
- "The return" is a painting about the relationship of people with death. You think about death?
"I don't want to die young. Or in some extreme situation. Don't want to feel the pain - physical or mental. But I think that death is the continuation of life.
- Believe in ghosts?
"No, but something there is clearly found after death. If not, then life has no meaning. That is all. I even thought this does not presume that all ends of the earth life!
A strong woman foibles
Who for you Almodovar, from which you removed for the third time?
- My favorite Director. No, the artist! His films literally changed my life - thanks to them I became an actress. Pedro is one of the most important people in my life. As a father, brother or sister. I'm not talking about the fact that this Director. About how three months we were working with him every word of the script. About how I love his insistence! If Pedro asked me to jump off a skyscraper, I do, because I always have confidence in what on earth he put me on a grid. We had a very difficult shifts, we fell down from exhaustion. But after work he called me to say how happy working with me. It's so touching that my eyes were filled with tears.
- At the premiere of you crying too.
- Yes, I'm very emotional. Especially if something touches me in a positive way. When I'm upset, I, on the contrary, to cry harder. And then I looked into the eyes of Pedro, around all applauded, he was crying, and I couldn't hold back. Like my heroine, sometimes I am a very strong woman, and sometimes succumb to weakness.
- Who, in addition to Almodovar, 'd like to withdraw?
- My favorite Directors Lars von Trier and Wong karwai. The dream of my life to be filmed in one year, three of my idols - Almodovar, von Trier and Karva. What? Can afford to dream!
Hollywood you clearly do not wish to limit myself.
I consider myself European, Spanish, actress, working in four languages in different countries. I always use my accent that distinguishes me from others, and not trying to become one of the Hollywood stars. Of course, I'm working on his English, and he is now much better. But to completely get rid of your accent, you must live in America and I don't want it. As well as filming. What is happening now in Spanish cinema, very interesting, and I want to be a part of. That's going to produce a film based on the bestseller, "the Passion of India" about the poor Spaniard, who married an Indian Prince and became a Princess at the age of 18. I bought the rights to this real story. Incidentally, seven months was achieved! The main role, of course, will play herself. In my opinion, it suits me.
"And the ballet"
- You said that the pictures Almodovar has influenced your life.
- I studied at the ballet school, but under the influence of his films, in particular, "Bind me", started thinking about the movie. I wanted to become a Spanish Anna Pavlova, I realized that I wanted to be an actress! So I started taking acting lessons, go on auditions, and gradually all this crossed my dance classes. And then the role went to...
Parents did not object?
They gave me the freedom to work a lot with youth. I went in the morning and came back at 11pm. Of course, I showed them the script of the picture "Leg and thigh", which decided to withdraw. And when the film was released, it was a shock! However, I was already 17.
Is anyone other than Anna Pavlova, you know from the Russian dancers?
- Anna Pavlova, Maya Plisetskaya - they were my idols more all Actresses! I wanted to be like these women! Baryshnikov and Nureyev are amazing too. And there was one dancer, Nijinsky, he seems, too, was a Russian?
- By itself!
- And why he killed himself?
- Head.
- That's it! "nuella said Penelope. I poured her some tea. She gratefully touch my knee.
- Are you still friends with Zalmay Hayek?
- She's one of my best friends. Once she came to visit me, we both had to work that morning, but we have probatly all night. And I found myself at 7 am leading a lively conversation with his eyes closed. If someone is shot, it would be nice Comedy!
"What's the tattoo "887" on your ankle? - I finish studying Penelopina charms.
It figures, the combination of which was in my life are very important. Eight has always been "my" number, but in the details I'm not going to go.
