Spanish film director renowned for vibrant films about human emotions and women, multiple Oscar nominee.
Memories are not the past. They are living material from which I create films. They breathe, they wound, they heal.
When pain becomes unbearable, only art remains. It gives me the opportunity to relive it all again, but differently.
There is friendship that saves lives. There are people who appear at the right moment to help you leave with dignity.
Pain taught me to see beauty where it is not usually sought. Suffering is the first teacher of cinema.
Motherhood is not just a bond of blood, it is a bond of souls. And this bond is stronger than any tragedy.
I film women because they are stronger, wiser, and more honest than we are. They should be at the center of every story.
I use color not by chance. Each shade carries an emotion. Red screams, blue whispers, yellow shines with hope.
