Pathé has announced a January 2022 release date for Pedro Almodóvar’s new feature film Parallel Mothers.
Pathé are delighted to announce that the Spanish auteur Pedro Almodóvar’s new feature film Parallel Mothers, starring his long-time collaborators Penélope Cruz, Rossy de Palma and Julieta Serrano as well as Milena Smit, Aitana Sánchez-Gijón and Israel Elejalde, will be released on 28 January 2022 in cinemas across the UK.
Parallel Mothers is Almodóvar’s 22nd feature film and had its World Premiere as the opening night film at this year’s Venice International Film Festival. The film received an enthusiastic response from the critics, and Penélope Cruz won the Best Actress Award for her performance.
Writer/Director Pedro Almodóvar is one of Spain’s most celebrated filmmakers with numerous accolades to his name including an Academy Award, four BAFTAs, numerous Goyas and over 100 further wins and nominations. His credits include Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown, All About My Mother, Volver, Pain And Glory and most recently The Human Voice.
Two women, Janis and Ana, meet in a hospital where they are about to give birth. Both are single and became pregnant by accident. Janis, middle-aged, has no regrets and is exultant. The other, Ana, an adolescent, is scared and repentant. Janis tries to encourage her as they move like sleepwalkers through the hospital corridors. The few words they exchange in these hours will create a very close link between them, which by chance will develop and complicate, changing their lives in a decisive way.
Parallel Mothers will be released on 28 January 2022 in cinemas across the UK.
