Pedro Almodovar

Spanish auteur Pedro Almodovar is set to release his 10th film with Sony Pictures Classics, as the company has secured North American rights to his latest pic, reports Variety.

Broken Embraces finds Almodovar reuniting with friend and budding muse Penelope Cruz to tell a four-person love story that intertwines numerous genres, according to the Volver director.

Working with a film noir aesthetic this time around, which he attributes to migraines that rendered him sensitive to bright lights, Almodovar has been filming on location in Madrid and the Canary Islands.

The moody pic also stars Lluis Homar (La mala educacion) and Blanca Portillo (Volver), part of Almodovar's larger spate of regular thesps.

Cruz received an Oscar nomination in 2006 for her role in Volver, her most recent collaboration with Almodovar.
