Penélope Cruz, Iberian gem

L'Immensità

it's because I needed an actress capable of embodying the dream of an ideal mother seen through the eyes of 'a kid.

At that age, we see his mother as someone mysterious and very approachable at the same time.

A creature that is both unreachable and yet very close.

I wanted an actress who almost represents something mythological.

Penélope gave me all that.

She was both a daily and fantasized mother, a “larger than life” mother

During filming, I discovered her even more different and surprising than I had thought… Penélope brings with her a mystery, a way of acting that immediately adapts to the acting of her partners.”
