A Retro Penelope Cruz Dances In The Street

Penelope Cruz was on set in Rome Thursday night filming her new movie, Venuto al Mondo, about a family disrupted by the Bosnian conflicts in the '90s. The late-evening shoot gave Cruz, dressed in retro '80s-style garb, a chance to show off her dancing skills in the picturesque Italian streets.

Production on Venuto al Mondo, which is directed by Sergio Castellitto, moved to Italy from Sarajevo, where security was tight around the lovely Oscar-winning actress, Fox News reports.

Cruz's husband, fellow Spaniard Javier Bardem, was in Sarajevo with her, but they parted ways when Bardem flew to New York City this week to address the United Nations about human rights abuses in the Morocco-occupied territories of Western Sahara. Bardem, who is working on a documentary about the topic, spoke to a decolonization committee about the long-neglected inhabitants of the area. "The people of the Western Sahara are suffering under repression inside the occupied territory; they are suffering in refugee camps in the Sahara desert, where they have been forgotten for decades," he said.
