The director of Todo sobre mi madre will adapt a book by Lucia Berlin for the big screen. Here’s what you need to know about his upcoming project that reunites him with the Don’t Look Up actress.
the spanish cinema has a very clear reference: Pedro Almodovar. Winner of two Oscars he made sure that every piece of his filmography was a success with a very marked style. But, contrary to what moviegoers are used to, it will innovate this time with a film that will be developed for the first time. in English. The cast, title and synopsis have already been released and it promises to be a most ambitious first.
As Variety reported just a few hours ago, it will be Cate Blanchett the person responsible for playing the protagonist of this story. The media have assured that this project which involves the director of All about my mother and the Australian actress is in its early stages of development. That’s not all, because apparently this time around it won’t just be The Wish that produces the film, but Blanchett herself.
The feature film will be titled Manual for cleaners and will be inspired by the eponymous book by Lucie Berlin. This bestseller was published nine years after his death and brings together a series of anthological stories in which different women perform demanding jobs in an effort to support the lives of their children. Considered a revolutionary in literature, the American author drew on her own life to portray these experiences.
Although there are 43 news, Pedro Almodóvar will address only five Manual for housekeepers. Among them, the book – responsible for female characters– describes the daily tasks of jobs ranging from a professor at a university, to a telephone operator, to a nurse and a cleaning lady. All of these stories take place against the backdrop of Texas, Oakland, and Mexico.
This is not the first time that the Spanish director has spoken of these texts. He has already done so in a review for an edition of the bestseller in Spanish: “It is the book with the most marked pages and in which my annotations in pencil compete in length with the original text. His stories are so harsh, even sordid, and so funny, it makes me want to do something about it”. Apparently the time has come and it sounds more than interesting.
