Julieta is a 2016 Spanish film written and directed by Pedro Almodóvar based on three short stories from the book Runaway (2004) by Alice Munro. The film marks Almodóvar's 20th feature and stars Emma Suárez and Adriana Ugarte as older and younger versions of the film's protagonist, Julieta, alongside Daniel Grao, Inma Cuesta, Darío Grandinetti, Michelle Jenner and Rossy de Palma.

The film opened on 8 April 2016 in Spain to mixed, but largely positive, reviews and a smaller box-office opening than most of the director's films. It made its international debut at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, where it was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or, and will be released across the world throughout the summer of 2016.

Plot

Julieta lives in Madrid and has just lost her husband Xoan. Her daughter, Antía, has just turned 18 and decides to run away without any explanation. Julieta searches by all means to find her, but the only thing she discovers is how little she knows her daughter.

Cast

Production

Julieta marks Almodóvar's 20th feature film.[1] The film was inspired by "Chance", "Soon" and "Silence", three short stories, from the book Runaway (2004) by Nobel Prize winner Alice Munro, from whom Almodóvar bought the film rights in 2009,[2] though he later admitted that he had not been completely faithful to the source material.[3] He however noted the significance of Munro's depiction of family relationships and the links between women, which he believed an important part of his adaptation.[4] It is Almodóvar's third film to be based on a foreign-language text, after Live Flesh (1997) and The Skin I Live In (2011).[5] He first titled the film Silencio (English: Silence), based on the title of one of the short stories, but changed it to Julieta in post-production to avoid confusion with Martin Scorsese's Silence, which will also be released in 2016.[6]

Originally, Almodóvar envisioned Julieta being his English-language film debut with American actress Meryl Streep in the lead role, playing three versions of the character at 20, 40 and 60 years old, instead of using two different actresses like in the final film.[7] He met with Streep, who agreed to the concept,[7] and found locations in Vancouver, Canada, where Munro based her stories.[2] He also searched for locations in the state of New York,[2] but eventually shelved the idea, unhappy at the prospect of filming in either country and uncomfortable with his ability to write and film in English.[8] Years later, members of his production team suggested that the script should be revisited but, this time, setting the film in Spain and making it in Spanish.[2]

Almodóvar revealed the film's original title, Silencio, in an interview with the Financial Times after attending a preview of the musical of his film Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown at the Playhouse Theatre, London, in January 2015.[9] Silence is "the principal element that drives the worst things that happen to the main female protagonist", Almodóvar said. He also stated that the film was a return to drama and his "cinema of women",[9] but claimed that the tone was different to that of his other feminine dramas like The Flower of My Secret (1995), All About My Mother (1999) and Volver (2006).[10] He explained that he had finished the script, but was in the process of casting.[9] In March 2015, Rossy de Palma, who frequently appears in Almodóvar's films, confirmed she had a role in the film,[11] followed by the announcement that Emma Suárez and Adriana Ugarte were playing the older and younger versions of the film's protagonist.[12] Almodóvar later said he used the two actresses as he "wanted new faces to give a different tone to [the] film".[4] Suárez also revealed that the employment of two actresses was an homage to That Obscure Object of Desire (1977) by Luis Buñuel, in which two actresses also play the same character at different stages in life.[13] El Deseo also revealed more casting the same month.[14]

In preparation for the film, Almodóvar encouraged Suárez and Ugarte to read The Year of Magical Thinking (2005), a book on mourning, by U.S. author Joan Didion and Other Lives but Mine (2009) by French writer Emmanuel Carrère for inspiration.[15] Almodóvar also recommended Suárez to watch Elevator to the Gallows (1958) by Louis Malle[16] and The Hours (2002) by Stephen Daldry as well as contemplating Lucian Freud's paintings.[17] Suárez also watched Almodóvar's complete filmography and stayed alone in Madrid to prepare for the character.[17] "It's a very tough character. For me it meant going into a pit of darkness where there is abandonment, loneliness and fear", Suárez stated in an interview.[17] She also revealed that the two actresses worked on their versions of the character independently; the couple were only together on set for the train sequence.[13] On working with the pair, Almodóvar said: "I battled a lot with the actresses' tears, against the physical need to cry. It is a very expressive battle. It wasn't out of reservedness, but because I didn't want tears, what I wanted was dejection – the thing that stays inside after years and years of pain. I adore melodrama, it's a noble genre, a truly great genre, but I was very clear that I didn't want anything epic, I wanted something else. Simply put, this had to be a very dry, tearless film".[18]

Julieta went into production in April 2015[19] with Jean-Claude Larrieu on board as cinematographer and frequent collaborator Alberto Iglesias composing the film's score.[20] Sonia Grande, another frequent collaborator, was responsible for the film's costume design.[21] Filming was due to begin on 6 May 2015,[12] but actually commenced on 18 May 2015;[22] Madrid, the Galician Rías Altas, La Sierra in Huelva, the Pyrenees in Aragón, Panticosa and Fanlo were among the locations used for filming.[19][23][24] Almodóvar later stated that he wanted to use the deserted mountainous areas to mark a significant distance from the city of Madrid to emphasize how the characters change their outlooks on life according to the environment they are in.[25] In search of locations, Almodóvar collaborated with the Huesca Film Office.[26] Photographs from the set began to appear online towards the end of May 2015.[27] Filming was completed on 7 August 2015.[28]

Release

El Deseo first unveiled a teaser poster for the film online in July 2015,[29] followed by a teaser trailer and a new teaser poster in January 2016.[30][31] The film's international trailer and official poster were released online the following month.[32][33]

Julieta premiered at La Sala Phenomena Experience in Barcelona on 4 April 2016.[34] It was also due to be screened at the Yelmo Ideal cinema in Madrid on 6 April 2016,[35] where Almodóvar had planned to deliver interviews and have photos. However, due to the controversy surrounding his name being listed in the Panama Papers earlier that week, he cancelled the event and all other press engagements for the film in the run up to its release.[36][37] Julieta was released to the public on 8 April 2016 in Spain; a special screening was held in Almodóvar's hometown, Calzada de Calatrava, on the day to celebrate the release of his 20th feature film.[38] Though he did not attend, he recorded a special video message which was broadcast to the public watching at the event.[39]

After much speculation,[40][41][42] the film made its international debut at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, where it was in competition for the Palme d'Or,[43][44] Almodóvar's fifth film to be selected for the competition, before being released on 18 May in France,[45] 26 May in Italy,[46] and 23 June in Brazil.[47] In June, Julieta will also screen out-of-competition at the Sydney Film Festival,[48] followed by its opening of the Jerusalem Film Festival and the Queensland Film Festival in July.[49][50] It will then be released on 8 July in Mexico,[51] and 26 August in the UK,[52] though further international dates are to be confirmed. In the USA, the film will be distributed by Sony Pictures Classics, their ninth Almodóvar picture,[53] with its sales handled by FilmNation Entertainment, their third Almodóvar film.[54]

Reception

Critical reception

Director and stars at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival.

Reviews for Julieta were mixed, but largely positive, and generally much less critical than those Almodóvar received for his previous film I'm So Excited (2013). Rotten Tomatoes gave Julieta a score of 71% based on reviews from 34 critics;[55] Metacritic gave the film a weighted score of 63/100, based on 10 critiques, which indicates "generally favourable reviews".[56]

The film drew praise from critics in Spain, including La Vanguardia, who compared Julieta to the female-centric films of George Cukor and Kenji Mizoguchi while noting hints of Alfred Hitchcock in Almodóvar's screenplay.[57] Alfonso Rivera of Cineuropa additionally observed influences of Ingmar Bergman, Krzysztof Kieślowski and Douglas Sirk in Almodóvar's style.[58] Vicente Molina Fox from El País believed Almodóvar had achieved the best script of his career with Julieta,[59] while Luis Martínez of El Mundo, despite finding issues with the narrative, thought Julieta was Almodóvar's "most difficult and most pure film".[60] Spanish edition of Vanity Fair also called it "the most Almodóvar film by Almodóvar".[61] Quim Casas from El Periódico de Catalunya said that Almodóvar had reinvented melodrama: "Prodigious in dramatic tone, Julieta is very Almodóvarian but at the same time different to other works by the auteur".[62] ABC gave the film a mixed review; praising Suárez in the lead role but criticising narrative choices.[63] Carlos Boyero, the "sworn critical enemy" of Almodóvar,[64] penned an extremely negative review in El País, feeling distanced and unable to identify with the characters because of the film's style and cinematography. Boyero stated that "the film conveys nothing to me, either emotionally or artistically".[65] El Confidencial also responded negatively, calling the film "a barren drama", "unsubtle" and "self-indulgent".[66]

Julieta had a warm reception at the Cannes Film Festival, which was followed by extremely positive reactions from French film critics,[67] including Le Monde who called it "a beautiful film of very pure sadness"[68] and La Croix who thought the theme of guilt was a welcome new addition to Almodóvar's work, calling Julieta "a beautiful and intense film".[69] L'Express thought Almodóvar had returned to the top of his game with Julieta, calling it "a work constantly on the edge, never overwhelmed by its own emotions, deliberately cold [and] even austere".[70] Libération gave a positive review, but felt the film was "too well-oiled" which prevented the drama of the story from "truly expressing all its power of emotional attraction".[71] However, L'Humanité was largely negative, concluding that "the film is very narrative and severely short of breath".[72]

The British press were very positive about the film: Screen Daily labelled the film "an anxious, tantalising creature which returns the Spanish director to the exclusive world of women" and stated that Almodóvar's "distinctive voice [grows] in texture and depth with each new production".[73] Time Out also responded very positively, singling out the cinematography, design, costumes and Iglesia's score as "typically exquisite", concluding that: "It might be familiar territory for Almodóvar, but only a master of his art could make it look so easy".[74] The Telegraph called the film a "guilt-soaked pleasure" and also highlighted its score and cinematography as well as the performances of Suárez and Ugarte.[75] London Evening Standard labeled the film "a harrowing examination of broken maternity and ever-present mortality", stating that the film is "excellently acted, brightly filmed [and] seriously good".[76] The Guardian thought the film was a "fluent and engaging work", stating that "the colours – and the women – pop in the Spanish auteur's adaptation of three Alice Munro stories, but there's something intentionally unsatisfying at the heart of this minor work".[77]

American critics tended to have more mixed feelings, like Variety, who stated that while the film was "a welcome return to the female-centric storytelling that has earned Almodóvar his greatest acclaim, it is far from this reformed renegade's strongest or most entertaining work".[78] Similarly mixed, Slant Magazine thought Julieta was not one of Almodóvar's best films, but most compelling because of "the bold, colorful compositions and framings that [he] has long mastered, which sketch psychological detail more acutely than Julieta's methodically orchestrated and rather sluggish story".[79] Twitch Film felt the mellowness of Munro's work did not adapt well to Almodóvar's melodramatic style, concluding that "Almodóvar seems content to let his past strengths wither in favour of banality".[80] Indiewire also thought the director played too safe and called Julieta his most conventional film.[81] The Hollywood Reporter felt the film would satisfy fans of Almodóvar, but was too decorous in comparison to his previous films: "a politeness that's quite unlike the lusty vulgarity of the past. Some of us may not be sure we like it".[82] However, TheWrap thought that "a subdued Almodóvar is still a far sight weirder and more intriguing than most directors", adding that the film is "a worthy part of a canon in which decorous should never be confused with dull".[83]

Box office

In Spain, the film opened in 203 cinemas. Over its opening weekend, it attracted 79,523 spectators, making €585,989.[84] This was reportedly Almodóvar's worst opening at the Spanish box office in 20 years.[85] Agustín Almodóvar later admitted that the film being a drama and not a comedy, making it harder to sell to a mainstream audience, coupled with the Panama Papers scandal which provoked Almodóvar to halt all press engagements in the run up to Julieta's release were the two main factors in the disappointing box office results.[86] In its first week, Julieta made €1,180,017 in Spain, making it the fifth-highest grossing film of the week, but was overshadowed by films like The Jungle Book and Kiki, el amor se hace.[87] It stayed at number 5 the following week, but the film's earnings dropped by 43%, making €348,515.[88][89] Box office takings then continued to fall; earning €220,000 in its third week,[90] then €119,131 in its fourth,[91] before falling out of the top 10 to number 17 in its fifth week.[92][93] The film has made a total of $2.3 million in Spain.[94]

Julieta became the second-highest grossing film of the week when it opened in France,[95] and has grossed over $5.1 million in the country.[94] In Italy, it debuted as the fourth-highest grossing film of the week and has gone on to accumulate £2.2 million.[94] Worldwide, the film has grossed a total of $10.2 million at the box office.[94]

Accolades

Before its release, the Los Angeles Times predicted that the film could be a contender for the 89th Academy Awards.[96]
