Pedro Almodóvar

For the first time since the Palme d'Or was created in 1955, three Spanish films will compete in Cannes Film Festival's official section. They are Amarga Navidad by Pedro Almodóvar, El ser querido by Rodrigo Sorogoyen, and La bola negra by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi (Los Javis). Thierry Frémaux, the festival's general delegate, made the announcement.
