PENELOPE CRUZ, DESIRE PATHS

Always where she is least expected

Synopsis

From her early years in Spanish arthouse cinema to her consecration as a Hollywood star, Penélope Cruz’s career has been a series of paths she has blazed, always seeking to go where no one anticipated her.

She did not follow a well-trodden path, but rather carved out her own, navigating the space between being a sought-after actress and a socially conscious one, between public life and private self, between being a exposed icon and a woman in control of her own transformations and counter-narratives.
