In the film, both she and Enzo struggled with the loss of their son, Dino, and Cruz discussed the role and the varying emotions of the character - such as when her husband, Enzo, has an affair.
Her work appearance comes after she gave a rare insight into her relationship with Javier Bardem in an interview as she covered the new issue of ELLE.
The actress and her husband, 54, who have been married for 13 years and share children Leo, 12, ad Luna, 10, tend to keep their romance out of the spotlight.
However, giving a small insight into their relationship during the interview, Penelope revealed how Javier keeps their family entertained with his funny impressions.
She said: 'He sings and he's a great dancer. And he does this amazing impression of Mick Jagger. He'll imitate Al Pacino and De Niro talking to each other. It's incredible.'
When he asked when he lets loose with his impressions and if they took place around the dinner table, she said: 'Truly, any situation.'
The mother of two also talked to the fashion magazine about how she copes with the more 'uncomfortable and painful' roles she takes on.
Penelope discussed how she regulates the empathy she feels for her characters, admitting it is something she works on in therapy a lot.

Penelope said there's a 'back-and-forth dance between fiction and reality', which she realises 'plays into a certain stereotype', but that doesn't make it any less true

Penelope said there's a 'back-and-forth dance between fiction and reality', which she realises 'plays into a certain stereotype', but that doesn't make it any less true.
She said: 'I'm lucky to have it, but maybe it makes me feel or suffer things more. I can feel it; it's like a hypersensitivity in every way—visually, to sound, to people's feelings.'
'It's been one of the main things I deal with in therapy: how to work a balance so I can keep feeling those things without making those feelings my own… Sometimes [the characters I play] can be uncomfortable and painful.
'It's hard to let them go, but at the end, I always feel they made me a little bit more compassionate than I was two months ago. And with the safety net that you know this is not your reality. It creates less judging and more compassion in every area of my life.'
As well as protecting her own emotions, Penelope is also fiercely protective and private over her two young chilren.
She said: 'It's for them to decide if they are going to have a job that is more exposed to the public or not. They can talk about that when they're ready.'
