IN BRIEF
- Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar was a guest on C à vous on December 17.
- Accompanied by Julianne Moore, he was promoting his latest film, La chambre d'à côté.
- He also spoke about the death of actress Marisa Paredes, with whom he collaborated on six of her films.
December 17th was marked by the death of a cult actress of Spanish and international cinema. Marisa Paredes died at the age of 78following a heart problem, as announced by the Spanish Academy of Cinema. A disappearance that shook the world of cinema, and in particular the director Pedro Almodóvar with whom she had appeared in several films such as High Heels, All About My Mother or Talk to Her. The latter was just invited to C à you, alongside actress Julianne Moore, this December 17.
The duo is in the middle of promoting the filmmaker's latest feature film, La habitacion de al lado, or La chambre d’à côté, in which Julianne Moore plays the lead role to Tilda Swinton. Pedro Almodóvar therefore wanted to express yourself on the death of Marisa Peredes who appears in six of his movies. “Today is a very sad day because of the disappearance of Marisa. And to tell the truth, I didn't know if I would be able to do this show with you after hearing this news” the director began by confiding.

Despite everything, Pedro Almodóvar made the trip, which gave him also gives the opportunity to externalize one’s pain and to express his/her upset. “But life goes on, it must go on. And I have to tell you that this morning, I was woken up by the announcement of her death and for me, it's a bit like a bad dream. So I'm in a kind of nightmare. Because I opened my eyes, and the first thing that struck me was this absence of Marisa“. An absence that makes the director's tribute to the actress even more powerful.
“And to establish a link with my film, La chambre d'àgrave; côté, there is a part of me that cannot come to terms with this death. Since I have been here, I have tried to come to terms with the idea that Marisa has left, that she is no longer here. For me, Marisa is eternal because that she is in all the films she has played in – mine and all the others – where she has been wonderful. But for me, it is a huge effort to become aware of this fact”. It must be said that, as he explains later, Pedro Almodóoacute;var was often in contact with Marisa Paredes.

“She sent me a message yesterday. And from now on, starting today, I will no longer receive messages from her. So I recognize that it is a little childish not to accept death when I have just had an example of it. And unfortunately we have examples every day of people dying around us. But here it is, I am still getting used to it that Marisa is no longer with us” concludes the saddened director.
