Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem are looking incredible together on the red carpet at the 2026 Venice Film Festival.
The real-life couple stepped out for the premiere of their new movie Bunker on Tuesday night (September 8) in Venice, Italy.
Penelope and Javier star in the new film, which was written for them by Florian Zeller, who also directed the movie.
What is Bunker about?
The Venice Film Festival released the below synopsis for the upcoming film, written and directed by Florian Zeller.
When an architect accepts a morally ambiguous project – building a survivalist bunker for a tech billionaire – his wife begins to question their marriage after seventeen years together.
Bunker is a dramatic thriller that examines the emotional and moral challenges faced by a couple as the anxieties of an increasingly uncertain world begin to reshape their marriage, exploring the fears, doubts and ethical dilemmas that define our time.
Florian has confirmed he wrote the movie specifically for Penelope and Javier to star in it.
I wrote Bunker for Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem, who were both the starting point and inspiration for this project — not only because they are among the most gifted actors working today, but also because they are an iconic couple. I wanted to explore love, fidelity and forgiveness while placing the audience in a position of deliberate ambiguity. What exactly are we being invited to witness? A glimpse of reality? Fiction? Or a meta-examination of the truth?
