I don't know the best.
Excellent Spanish cinema is being made that makes you want to go to the cinema.
Does being an actor mean the same on a film
set
as it does on stage?
The volume of things changes.
On stage, everything that is lived needs to use the strength and the capacity for expression of the entire body, and on set, very often, it must remain only in the eyes.
What movie has impacted you the most lately?
The Hunter's Order,
by Joaquim Jordà.
Wonderful modern portrait (this is what it is) about a person and what surrounds them;
in this case it is the Spanish filmmaker that I did not know, Jacinto Esteva.
It is not the typical documentary of a polyhedral and complex figure that serves to explain a time, an idea of the artist, etc.
It is the documentary that seems to be the first of its kind and seems to have inspired many of the following that focus on that, a person and the circumstances that surround him.
