Pain and Glory [Subtitled] [Opens Nov. 29 at the MSP Film Society at the St. Anthony on Main Theater; for information, log on to info@mspfilm.org or call 612/331-7563.] A captivating, superbly acted, touching, factually inspired, realistic, often somber, poignant, bittersweet, star-dotted (Nora Navas, Julieta Serrano, and Cecilia Roth), 113-minute Pedro Almodóvar film in which a gay, depressed, migraine-prone, choking-afflicted, asthmatic, aging Spanish film director (Antonio Banderas), who suffers from a multitude of mental and physical problems in Madrid and trying to get back his creative spark, reminisces about his childhood as a young, smart, Catholic boy (Asier Flores) growing up with his poor parents (Raúl Arévalo and Penelope Cruz) in a whitewashed cave in the 1960s and teaching an illiterate artistic laborer (César Vicente) while reconnecting with the estranged, heroin-addicted star (Asier Etxeandia) of his film that is now receiving renewed critical acclaim, and when the actor stars in the biopic play of the director's life, he also ends up reconnecting with his former lover (Leonardo Sbaraglia) now divorced and owning a restaurant in Argentina.
