From the presskit for Volver; some lovely thoughts by Almodovar on creating Penolope Cruz’s smoking hot look and vibe in the film. “Penelope is at the height of her beauty. It’s a cliché but in her case it’s true. (Those eyes, her neck, her shoulders, her breasts!! Penelope has got one of the most spectacular cleavages in world cinema)….It was a pleasure to dress, comb and make up the character and the person. Penelope’s body enobles whatever you put on it. We decided on straight skirts and cardigans because they are classic garments, very feminine and popular in any decade, from the 1950s to 2000. And it also must be said, because the reminded me of Sophia Loren, in her beginning as a Neoopolitan fish seller. We have to thank the hairdresser Massimo Gattabrusi for the wonderful disheveled hair-dos and Anan Lozano for the make-up. The extended eye-line was a real find. There is just one false element in Raimunda’s body, her ass. There characters are big-assed women and Penelope is too slim. The rest is all heart, emotion, talent, truth and a face the camera adores. As I do.”
she makes me wanna wear cardigans and straight skirts. but i think my ass is too big.
