Watch the new international trailer for Pedro Almodovar’s Julieta

Pedro Almodovar is a unique talent in modern cinema who has seemed to, almost effortlessly, continued to bridge the gap between Hollywood and inventive Spanish film-making with movies such as Talk to Her, Volver and The Skin I Live in, to name but a few.

Today we’ve got the first official English-language trailer for Julieta, which Almodovar writes and directs. Julieta is a teacher of fifty five, who decides to write a long letter to her daughter, Antía, to try and explain all the things she has kept secret from her over the last 30 years but there’s an early twist because she doesn’t know where to post the letter. Her daughter abandoned her when she was eighteen and Julieta hasn’t heard from her in the past twelve years.

Starring Adriana Ugarte, Michelle Jenner, Rossy de Palma, Emma Suárez and more, watch the trailer now, it has a beautiful, natural feeling:

Julieta opens in the UK in August.
