Loving Pablo

CrimeDrama123 min

As Pablo Escobar builds a cocaine empire in 1980s Colombia, his public image and private life become entangled with celebrity journalist Virginia Vallejo. Javier Bardem is Escobar at the height of his power, while Penélope Cruz's Virginia is drawn into a relationship that unfolds alongside bombings, political pressure, and mounting scrutiny in Medellín and beyond. Framed around their volatile affair, the film tracks the drug lord's ascent through the eyes of a woman close enough to see both the glamour he projected and the violence attached to his rule.
