Marisa Paredes

D. Filipa Sanches

Marisa Paredes’s unique talent was recognized several times, including two nominations for the Goya Awards. An exceptional actress in Pedro Almodóvar’s films (with whom she has collaborated in "All About my Mother", "The Flower of My Secret", "High Heels" or "The Skin I Live In"), Marisa Paredes is, above all, one of the most important faces of Spanish cinema. Her charismatic presence could also be seen in films of prominent filmmakers like Manoel de Oliveira ("Magic Mirror"), Roberto Benigni ("Life is Beautiful"), Arturo Ripstein ("Deep Crimson") and Raúl Ruiz, who directed Marisa Paredes in "Three Lives and Only One Death".
