NEW FROM EFSP: ANTONIO BANDERAS

New from our friends at European Film Star Postcards---a fab post on one of our favorite actors, Antoinio Banderas:

Charismatic Spanish film actor, film director, film producer, and singer Antonio Banderas (1960) began his acting career at age 19 with a series of films by director Pedro Almodóvar. He became an internationally known Latin heartthrob with high-profile Hollywood films including Philadelphia (1993), Interview with the Vampire (1994), Desperado (1995), Evita (1996), The Mask of Zorro (1998), and the Shrek sequels. In 2011, the Spanish psychological thriller La piel que habito/The Skin I Live In marked the return of Banderas to Pedro Almodóvar. 

In this film and in their next film together, Dolor y gloria/Pain and Glory (2019), Banderas gave two of his best performances ever.  READ AND SEE MORE HERE.
