Pedro Almodóvar looks at a director's life in the lovely autobiographical dramaPain and Glory

Early on inPain and Glory, an old acquaintance asks Salvador Mallo (Antonio Banderas), a movie director who has essentially retired himself in late middle age, If you dont write or film, what will you do? Live, I guess, he replies, with a whole-body shrug so resigned its clear he means almost exactly the opposite. There may be more pain than glory running throughPedro Almodovars minor-key melodrama, but its the most tender kind; a sort of melancholy memory palace that paints the Spanish auteurs personal history in gently over-washed layers of past and present not least in the fact that it stars two of the most famous muses of his nearly-four decade career, Banderas andPenelope Cruz(who appears in flashbacks as Mallos prickly, beloved mother)....

PEN15review: Hulu's teen show is just perfect

It is Aug. 28, 2000, and everything is happening for the first time. PEN15is built around an unusual conceit. Erskine and Konkle are adults, co-creators of the show with Sam Zvibleman. They play 13-year-olds; the other kid characters are all child actors. Sounds bizarre, but the leads give such committed performances that the gimmick fades immediately. They seem to be re-enacting autobiographical versions of their own younger selves Erskines own mother plays Mayas mom!...
