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.
