The argentine cinema will be part of the ceremony of delivery of the Goya Awards, today in Madrid, where the actor Rodrigo de la Serna aspires to the award for Best Actor Revelation for his role in the co-production Spanish-argentina one Hundred years of forgiveness, while The illustrious citizen, by Gastón Duprat and Mariano Cohn, will compete for the prize to the Best Ibero-american Film. In a ceremony that will start at 18 hours of Argentina (22, Spain) at the Marriott hotel Auditorium of Madrid, the new film by Cohn and Duprat, by which his protagonist, Oscar Martinez, was awarded the Copa Volpi for the Best Actor in the last Venice film Festival, aspires to stay with the figurine that the members of the Academy of Cinema of Spain delivered to the Best Ibero-american Film.
The illustrious citizen is measured with the film mexican elected, the venezuelan From there and the colombian Anna, and in case of being chosen the winner would become the seventeenth film argentina -out of a total of 24 that were nominated – to win the Goya, happening consecutively to Stories wild, by Damián Szifrón, in 2015, and The clan, by Pablo Trapero, in the past year.
“different audiences feel as one’s own, especially the italians and the spaniards,” said Duprat, in relation to the awards that her film won in Venice but also in Mexico, where it got the Ariel for Best Ibero-american Film, in Greece, where it won the audience award at the Festival of Thessaloniki, and in Israel, where he received the best ribbon, the international Festival of Haifa.
For the argentine director, “does not cease to be a film very self-critical and hard. The argentine cinema in the last decade it has only been dedicated to portraying the distant past, so to see this in the cinema, with specific issues of the policy and the mode of life, shocked a lot of people and caused a nice discussion.”
“In this case, the film touches on themes we are interested in, and luckily we see that the public also, complex issues such as nationalism, the emptiness of fame and success, the look of a small town in the interior of Argentina through isolated and very inward, faced with the cosmopolitanism of a Nobel prize”, he added Duprat.
In the meantime, the nomination for the Best Actor Revelation for la Serna (remembered for his outstanding performance in films like Chronicle of a leak and the motorcycle Diaries is for her performance in the thriller one Hundred years of forgiveness, where it personifies to The Uruguayan, one of the leaders of a band of raiders, in disguise and armed to perpetrate a complicated robbery in a bank in Valencia.
