“Living is easy with eyes closed”, “Child” or “10,000 km”. A teacher who takes to the road to meet John Lennon, a guy who starts in a separate drug trafficking and the Atlantic partner. This trio of films shortlisted by the Academy of Motion will film to represent Spain at the 87th edition of the Oscars in the best foreign film category. Doubt will be unveiled on 25 September.
Now comes the last chosen winner of Goya or the new blockbuster national cinema (less options has “10,000 km”, supported by its passage through the festival Málaga), Lucky must fight with two types of rivals : the films selected for the other countries and the curse that seems to weigh on Spanish production since 2004 That year “The Sea Inside” Alexander Amenábar, wearing the golden statuette. Since then, few titles have been sent by the Academy have become empty.
Furthermore, these nine features even managed to sneak into the five finalists , the attending Gala in hopes of winning the jackpot. The list is composed of the following headings:
2005: “Obaba”
2006: “Back”
2007: “The Orphanage”
2008: “The Blind Sunflowers”
2009: “Victory Dance”
2010: “Even the Rain”
2011: “Pa negre “
2012:” Snow White “
2013:” 15 years and a day “
An obstacle
The path in the film that sends each country to the Oscar is long and complex. A distance race full of obstacles and that requires going through a series of filters. From the above titles, just “Back” and “Even the Rain” managed to reach the pre-finalist step, the penultimate screen, so to call it.
A category, the Best Foreign Language Film that has just four joys in store to Spain since 1956 Apart from “The Sea Inside” bingo sang “Restart”, “Belle epoque” and “All About My Mother.” A crop that is complete with a handful of finalists who were within inches of glory. A feeling that, since 2004, the national cinema has not returned to savor.
