Why we chose it
Penélope Cruz plays a director and Antonio Banderas a movie star, alongside Oscar Martínez as a stage actor who thinks cinema is entertainment for the simple-minded. Nobody on this set gets spared, and the result is a delicious satire on the vanity of the film world.
Synopsis
An eighty-year-old billionaire wants a monument more lasting than bronze, so he buys the rights to a celebrated novel and hires Palme d’Or winner Lola Cuevas to adapt it. She sits two actors from opposite worlds face to face, and they loathe one another on sight. Then rehearsals begin, and she has them repeat the same line over and over.
