Penélope Cruz: “My mother is my greatest feminist reference” | Culture and entertainment | America Edition

With the Oscar nominations just around the corner and many ballots to be a finalist for best actress for “Madres Parlelas” (“Parallel Mothers”), the Spanish actress Penélope Cruz co-stars in “The 355”, a spy movie that subverts the canons of the genre and shows that united women can also save the world.

The actress, who in the film teams up with Jessica Chastain, Diane Kruger, Lupita Nyong’o and Bingbing Fan, believes that the word feminism has been “distorted” and “misunderstood” a lot, but she does not hesitate to consider herself a feminist and mentions her mother as the highest reference.
