It is likely that if the test Cleo Voight-Kampff -¿recuerdan be submitted proof that the replicants of “Blade Runner” – it passed with flying colors. A sensual robot, one of the “anthropomorphic appliances” of “automaton” as defined by Antonio Banderas, one day something makes you “click” on and becomes something else. We talk about the new work of director Gabe Ibáñez (Madrid, 1971), filmed before “Iron” and now explores the dilemma of a variation robotic laws proposed by Isaac Asimov: What would happen if one day the machines took their evolutionary barriers Scheduled? All this, in a dystopian and apocalyptic future in which Banderas, who also produced this film to be modestly budgeted science fiction (five million euros), gives life to Jacq Vaucan, insurance agent to have no beginning and no insurance.
The future presents the film is dark. But what you see black flags is rather the present. “We are living in a time that I almost define as post-democratic. I’ve been lucky that life has put me in front of Barack Obama, and has lost the sparkle in the eyes. One wonders if we’re really being governed by those who vote or if they handle the ropes, the impotence of the heads of state, are invisible powers, whether they markets, lobbies, corporations or whatever. You can pledge your Disneyland electoral program. But once you go up there, the encounter with the reality is very hard “, says the artist, in San Sebastian walked with an enviable appearance, carefree jeans, gauzy shirt and Ibiza beard, which leads to belief that not only robots not age. Still, says: “I’m a pathological optimist. I always think it’s going to come a time when things fixed. “
So, he continues,” we raised the film, and that’s kind of science fiction that we wanted to go with continuous references to the current situation in the world in history there is a clear loss of values; in one scene a man shoots another like a dog, and walls that separate from each other like dirt rise. To me that excites me who inherit these values, which at one point were the pillars of our civilization, are robots. ” He added: “We are continually vanishing like a sandcastle in front of this other civilization, which arose as an appendix to become the new. Actually the film reflects on the ephemeral meaning of our existence. “
With Flags by hand, it is inevitable to mention Hollywood. Nobody in Spain knows probably better than him. Yesterday, before the press, dropped you would like to work more in Spain, that it was running out. Then he explained, “is not so much a distaste: it is a statement of fact. Hollywood films practically no wheel in Los Angeles. The studies used for the television series and films are made in places with tax incentives. ” All that said, again his words: “In the end, it’s about creating illusion through the means you have. And open doors and think that science fiction not only belongs to American filmmaking. The aliens only go to America, never to Cordoba! This is because there is no money in Spain to make movies aliens. It’s that simple. But that can be broken. ” He emphasizes: “If there are incentives from the governments, that can help. Morocco is taking a clear amount of investment that probably elude us is us. “
And that defends the Malaga craftsmanship on digital. “I attended an awards ceremony in Los Angeles two years ago. The main award was picked up a man from a company that works for all studies and gave a speech that put the willies. Went on to say: “… Was there a time when Hollywood was based on the writers That happened after the” Star System “of the directors and actors Now is our time We are Hollywood ‘” he explains gesturing. “Our independent little film, we prefer to call it arthouse science fiction tries to fight that.” They rolled in Bulgaria with robots on screen seem very real, but where digital has not been the creation of the machine, but “eliminate” the puppeteers, to “bunraku” Japanese, endowed life to each controller, machine with three people: two for the legs and arms and a third party remote controls for the head. Filming with These recognizes the actor, “has been in direct proportion, funny and complicated relationship.” The result was worth it: “They have little to do with robots jumping from roof to roof we see in Hollywood movies. You can make these genres differently. “
