Invitation to Marisa Paredes

She is one of Spain's "greats", one of Pedro Almodóvar's muses, magnificent in High Heels and The Flower of My Secret. She has also been directed by Fernando Trueba, Arturo Ripstein and Roberto Benigni. Marisa Parades and her partner, Chema Prado, former director of the Spanish Film Library, have both become regulars at the Lumière film festival.
