Read more Pedro Almodóvar's film "Juliet" is based on the book by Alice Munro, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and winner of other international awards. For the Spanish director, this is the twentieth full-length film in his career. Almodóvar bought the film rights to Munro's three short stories back in 2009. In the main role, he saw Meryl Streep, who was supposed to play the character in her 20s, 40s and 60s. The actress agreed, and the director went to look for locations in Canada and the USA. But later he had problems with both the language and the filming location, and Almodovar postponed the project. In January 2015, it became known that the Spanish director returned to filming the drama "Juliet". The main roles in the film were played by Adriana Ugarte, Emma Suarez, Michelle Henner, Rossi De Palma, Inma Cuesta, Dario Grandinetti and others. The project was originally called "Silencio" ("Silence"), but during post-production, Almodovar decided to change the name to avoid confusion with Martin Scorsese's new work "Silence", which is also due out in 2016. Filming of the film "Juliet" started in May 2015 and ended in August. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, where it was nominated for the Palme d'Or. In addition, it is quite possible that the tape will become one of the contenders for the next Academy Award ceremony.
