Charismatic wanderer Stanton Carlisle (played by Bradley Cooper) torches his old life and joins a carnival . . . where he learns the secrets of mentalism. Guillermo del Toro has treated us to various horror fables over the years from Pan’s Labyrinth to the fabulous The Shape of Water, but this is slight change of pace . . .

Two single women, two babies, lies, death, art & sex . . . it’s the latest from Pedro Almodóvar. Janis (Penélope Cruz) and teenager Ana (Milena Smit), meet in hospital and become friends. As they leave with their babies, nothing will ever be the same again as their lives become entwined . . .

Ok . . . let’s pretend you don’t know the story . . .

Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) is held hostage by the evil Imperial forces in their effort to take over the galaxy. Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and dashing Captain Han Solo (Harrison Ford) together with Chewbacca and the robotic duo of R2-D2 & C-3PO help to rescue the princess and restore justice in the Empire . . .

Ageing Spanish filmmaker Salvador Mallo (played by Antonio Banderas) is invited to an anniversary screening of his 1980s hit film ‘Sabor’. The event brings him into contact with his difficult lead actor – Alberto Crespo (Asier Etxeandia) who fell out with him during the original production. This meeting forces the director to look at his past . . .

Filmed over nine days last year in Madrid . . . Almodóvar transforms Jean Cocteau’s short play The Human Voice. Tilda Swinton stomps around a beautiful apartment where the décor offers a view into her state of mind in this short, sharp shot of full on Almodóvar humour, passion, emotion & heartbreak. This is Almodóvar’s first short film in over 11 years, and his first to be made in English.
