An Official Selection of the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, Sony Pictures presents Pedro Almodovar’s Broken Embraces.

Check out the review below…
Director Pedro Almodovar‘s upcoming film Broken Embraces has an official trailer, and it’s complete with English subtitles! The film focuses on love, death, identity, and guilt wrapped with beautiful cinematography. In no surprise Penelope Cruz stars as the film’s female lead. You knew she wouldn’t be far behind. Broken Embraces U.S. release date is set for November 20, 2009, but only in limited theaters. I haven’t seen much promotion prior to this, but according to Cinemablend, the following trailer was released by the U.K. film distributor Pathe.
