Pedro Almodóvar’s The Human Voice starring Tilda Swinton gets a new trailer

The Human Voice, directed by Spanish auteur Pedro Almodóvar and starring Tilda Swinton, has already screened in the UK but Sony Pictures Classic is planning on releasing it in US cinemas in 2021.

Madness and melancholy intersect to thrilling effect as Almodóvar reimagines Jean Cocteau’s short play The Human Voice for an era in which isolation has become a way of life. Laws of desire become the rules of the game as Tilda Swinton’s unnamed woman paces and panics in a glorious Technicolor apartment where décor offers a window into her state of mind. A short, sharp shot of distilled Almodóvar: passion, emotion, heartbreak, wit, and melodrama exquisitely bound up in a tale for our times.

THE HUMAN VOICE was shot over nine days in Madrid in July and premiered to critical acclaim at the Venice Film Festival. It is Almodóvar’s first work in the English language.

Writer/Director Pedro Almodóvar is one of Spain’s most celebrated filmmakers with numerous accolades to his name including an Academy Award®, four BAFTAs, numerous Goyas and over 100 further wins and nominations. His credits include WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN, ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER, VOLVER and most recently PAIN AND GLORY.
