Almodóvar's Bitter Christmas Opens in New York and Los Angeles on November 13, Expanding Nationwide November 25
Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar's latest feature Bitter Christmas (Amarga Navidad), released by Sony Pictures Classics, opens in New York and Los Angeles theaters on November 13, before expanding nationwide on November 25.
The film stars Bárbara Lennie and Leonardo Sbaraglia, with Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, Victoria Luengo, Patrick Criado, Milena Smit and Quim Gutiérrez. Its story moves between two timelines: in 2004, advertising director Elsa throws herself into work after her mother dies in December, until a panic attack forces her to take a break and travel to Lanzarote with her friend Patricia, while her partner Bonifacio stays in Madrid; in 2026, screenwriter-director Raúl, stuck in a creative drought, turns her story into a screenplay, blurring the line between reality and fiction.
The film premiered in competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival and went on to screen at the Toronto International Film Festival and in the New York Film Festival's Main Slate. It runs 111 minutes.
