Director Pedro Almodovar Praises Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman -- to Their Faces At the Oscars


Pedro Almodovar , the famous 72-year old Spanish film director, has written a nice piece for Indiewire on his two days at the Oscar(one day before, one day of) and it is very complimentary to most of the people he met.

He loved running into "old friend," Paul Thomas Anderson, and he wrote this about the two young stars of Licorice Pizza, who were also there at the Oscar ceremony :

"I also met the two protagonists of his "Licorice Pizza," Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman, both brimming over with the same charm as in the film and I have to tell both of them so. Its been years since we've seen two presences like theirs in the cinema, so fresh, so seductive, so personal. I fell in love with them, just like the camera that shot them in the film." (END)

Let that be the memory of "Licorice Pizza."
