Banderas’s nuanced portrayal of Almodovar’s alter ego in ‘Pain & Glory’ won him best actor at the Cannes film festival.
Sporting Almodovar’s spiky hair and colourful clothes, he plays the movie’s central character, an ageing Spanish director who is plagued by physical and psychological frailty who revisits childhood memories. “I respect him, I admire him, I love him, he’s my mentor and he’s given me so much in my entire life that this award, obviously, has to be dedicated to him,” he said.
“So to get up there tonight was not very good news for my cardiologist!” he quipped in a nod to the heart attack he had in 2017 after which he had three operations.Over the past 20 years, he has had six films in competition at Cannes but never taken home the Palme d’Or and was conspicuously absent from Saturday night’s ceremony, which Banderas said added a note of sadness to his win.
When Banderas began his acting career he “was a passionate animal who impressed just by his presence”, Almodovar told Spanish film magazine Fotogramas earlier this year. Back in 1987, Almodovar got him to play a gay killer in “Law of Desire” at a time when depicting crime in movies “was morally accepted” while two people sharing a same-sex kiss “was spurned as anathema”, he said.During the summer of 1980, Banderas said goodbye to his teacher mother and policeman father and boarded a train for Madrid where he wanted to “invent” himself. At the time, he was not quite 20.
