BITTER CHRISTMAS
(dir. Pedro Almodóvar)
Wednesday, September 2, 2026, 6:05 PM
Kino Pod Baranami
Pedro Almodóvar returns in top form with one of his most personal films yet. The moving film Bitter Christmas will be screened at Kino Pod Baranami as part of the Cinemino series on Wednesday, September 2nd, at 6:05 PM.
Pedro Almodóvar's first Spanish-language film in five years captures everything audiences love about his work: passion, intense colors, subversive humor, and full-bodied characters who defy simple formulas. Bitter Christmas tells the story of forty-year-old Elza (Bárbara Lennie), who throws herself into work after her mother's death, refusing to allow herself to mourn. A panic attack forces Elza to confront the past and her lost relationships.
Bitter Christmas is a special treat for the viewers who grew up with the Spanish master's cinema. Almodóvar makes a moving declaration of faith in the power of cinema, memory, and narrative. The story feels intimately autobiographical, as it skillfully balances raw emotional vulnerability with a sharp, defiant wit.
