(ANSA) - VENICE, 04 SEPT - Penelope Cruz speaks Italian, "Italy is my second home, I love this country where I have always been welcomed, it is also a cinematic bond and when a project arrives, as beautiful as that of EmanueleCrialese's film, The Immensity, for which I am here, I am happy ".
The Oscar-winning Spanish actress accompanies the film in competition (produced by Wildside, released by Warner from September 15), in which she plays an unhappy wife, "trapped, without a plan B, for her marriage over, given the times" and "a mother who becomes an accomplice of her children, especially Adriana, so different and also unhappy that she waits for the aliens to take her away to another world in which to feel better, to be able to call Andrea. There is - she says in an interview with the
ANSA - a very strong connection between the two of them, in their feeling of being caged, without the possibility of escaping.
In the unspoken, in their exchanging glances there is everything ".
In the film, admittedly autobiographical for the director, Cruz is a mother again, "indeed many mothers in the complexity of this role. I have a very strong maternal side, since I was little.
I made seven films with Pedro Almodovar and in five I am a mother, motherhood it belongs to me, it is an infinite world always to be discovered, just like the family ".
A bond with her children, in this 70s house that represents their 'prison', is Raffaella Carrà: mother Penelope goes wild to dance Rumore, involving the three boys.
"I've always been crazy about Raffaella, I sang her songs out loud for my whole family, she was a very important woman for me".
