The North American Premiere of Pedro Almodóvar’s I’m So Excited! will double as the opening night film for the 2013 Los Angeles Film Festival on Thursday, June 13. 

Starring Javier Cámara, Cecilia Roth, Lola Dueñas and Raúl Arévalo, and featuring cameos from Antonio Banderas and Penélope Cruz,  I’m So Excited! follows a very mixed group of travelers in a life-threatening situation on board a plane flying to Mexico City.  They let off steam, attempt to seduce and be seduced, lie to themselves and each other, and battle with fear, loneliness and the prospect of death.

The film’s release is set for June 28, 2013 from Sony Pictures Classics.

Now in its nineteenth year, the festival will return to downtown Los Angeles, with its central hub at L.A. LIVE, and will run from Thursday, June 13 to Sunday, June 23, 2013.
