Óscar Peyrou is the President of the Spanish Film Press Association and delegate of FIPRESCI in Madrid. Two years ago his wife and mother of his children died. Now he lives alone in a small apartment in Madrid.
Now retired, film festivals are the driving force of his life. However, what makes Oscar famous is his peculiar method of writing his reviews: you don't need to see the film itself, just analyze its poster.
“One of the nine diamond in the rough of the Berlinale.”- Indie Wire
“A post-modern version of Orson Welles’ F. For Fake.” - Fotogramas
“It dismantles the idea of authority itself.”- Il Manifesto
“Piercing and poignant.” - Blow Up

00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.240
This picture
by Óscar's great-grandfather
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:46.640
dates from September 27th 1893
in Mendoza, Argentina.
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:50.600
There's a hole in the centre
made by fire.
00:00:50.720 --> 00:00:52.320
But the paper's not burnt.
00:00:52.400 --> 00:00:54.600
It's a representation of a hole.
00:00:54.680 --> 00:00:56.680
The landscape isn't really relevant
00:00:56.760 --> 00:00:58.680
it's an accompaniment.
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:02.240
The artist's eagerness
to trick the spectators
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:03.960
is such that
this yellow film
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.520
produced by the heat on the paper
before it burns
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:09.720
dyes the upper part of the picture.
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:12.800
The centre of the hole
-representing the void-
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:15.960
is white, level, and has no depth.
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:32.000
Welcome to the Dominican Republic
on your first visit.
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.880
What did you come here for?
00:02:35.480 --> 00:02:36.560
I don't know.
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:41.240
I don't know for sure, well
00:02:41.600 --> 00:02:43.800
I've come to watch films.
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.680
And what do you expect to find?
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:51.920
I hope to find interesting films
from the Caribbean region.
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:55.480
I presume there's a section
of that type.
00:02:55.600 --> 00:03:00.480
Do you know
any Dominican film productions
00:03:00.600 --> 00:03:03.520
which you could give us
your opinion of?
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:05.160
No, not really.
00:03:08.760 --> 00:03:10.520
-It's decaf, isn't it?
-Yes, sir.
00:03:10.600 --> 00:03:12.720
-Thank you very much.
-Enjoy your meal.
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:13.880
Thanks.
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:33.840
The interior of the Cathedral.
00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:35.960
The Columbus Lighthouse.
00:03:36.040 --> 00:03:39.880
The interior of the lighthouse.
The Columbus' family house
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.160
The Pantheon of the Fatherland.
The fortress.
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:44.240
Yes.
00:03:44.320 --> 00:03:46.080
The Government Palace.
00:03:46.320 --> 00:03:49.880
The Three Eyes Park
and the map of the country.
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:50.960
Very nice.
00:03:51.040 --> 00:03:53.720
We offer all this as tour guides.
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:55.440
Thank you very much, but...
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:57.760
Look, as you were talking...
Alber!
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:01.280
This young man here
will show you these sets...
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:03.240
-Greetings, sir.
-Hello.
00:04:03.320 --> 00:04:07.560
These are complete sets
that include the necklace...
00:04:07.640 --> 00:04:10.440
-Yes...
-And all complete.
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:11.520
Ok.
00:04:11.640 --> 00:04:16.840
I am going to look around
and then I'll be back later.
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:21.000
But before you go,
let me show you the magnets
00:04:21.080 --> 00:04:23.800
with Dominican figures...
00:04:24.080 --> 00:04:27.280
I'm not interested in magnets
because I get electric shocks.
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.400
For your fridge...
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:33.640
I put a magnet on my fridge
and I get a shock.
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:14.840
What do you do when you go to Cannes?
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:21.320
I walk along
the Boulevard de la Croisette
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:24.040
towards the Palais des Festivals
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.880
and I wake up as I walk.
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.240
I try not to wake up completely
00:05:31.320 --> 00:05:35.000
because the first session
starts at 8 am
00:05:35.440 --> 00:05:38.600
and it's nice to be
half asleep when the film starts
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:40.520
not to fall asleep during the film
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:43.320
but to watch it
from a sleepy point of view.
00:05:43.400 --> 00:05:44.880
-Drowsy.
-Yes, drowsy.
00:05:44.960 --> 00:05:48.240
It kind of softens the film.
00:05:48.320 --> 00:05:51.720
If the film's bad,
it doesn't seem so bad.
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:53.960
If it's good,
it doesn't seem so good.
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:58.440
It's like a sort of golden mean,
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.960
someting standard.
00:06:02.200 --> 00:06:05.600
It's very comfortable
00:06:06.200 --> 00:06:08.040
because you're not passionate.
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.560
Gentlemen, friends,
thank you for this opportunity
00:06:13.640 --> 00:06:15.360
here in Confabulaciones
00:06:15.440 --> 00:06:18.080
where we've been talking to
none other than
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:25.000
the President of the Federation
of Film Critics of Spain.
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:42.320
Usually, there's an initial vote
00:06:42.400 --> 00:06:46.400
in which you vote for,
B and C against D and E
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:47.480
OK.
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:49.360
-But you don't mention A.
-Never.
00:06:49.440 --> 00:06:52.520
Very often there's a draw
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:58.400
with positions
wich can't move.
00:06:58.480 --> 00:06:59.360
OK.
00:06:59.440 --> 00:07:02.920
so you kindly suggest
A as an alternative.
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.040
Wich is your initial choice.
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:09.200
Yes, exactly, Usually it works out
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:14.480
It depends, because you know
there are stubborn people.
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:19.680
Which is why you have to vote,
because you can't convince anyone
00:07:19.760 --> 00:07:23.920
I remember this strategy
you mention in Puerto Rico
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:25.680
you managed it well.
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:29.080
You did really well.
00:07:44.520 --> 00:07:49.640
To a certain extent,
you have to buy the critics.
00:07:50.520 --> 00:07:54.240
Not with money...
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:56.960
Well, I wish.
00:07:57.400 --> 00:08:00.560
No one offered me money,
unfortunately...
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:06.040
For example,
try to befriend the critic.
00:08:08.400 --> 00:08:12.480
Buy them a drink.
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.800
Give them a bottle of wine
or something.
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:19.400
I say this because that's
what the big producers do.
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:21.400
I have a film competing.
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:25.120
I happened to have lunch next
to the jury and was told not to.
00:08:25.200 --> 00:08:26.760
I wouldn't have said anything.
00:08:26.840 --> 00:08:31.720
To hear that it's the most normal
thing to invite them for a meal.
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:35.560
Talk about the film and
somehow sell it to them.
00:08:35.680 --> 00:08:39.280
I find it absolutely disgusting
00:08:39.800 --> 00:08:43.800
and for you to confirm
that it happens this way...
00:08:45.800 --> 00:08:48.320
It's been wonderful
listening to you.
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.560
The fourth identified kamikaze
is Sami Aminur
00:09:01.640 --> 00:09:04.840
a 28 year old Frenchman
who took part in the massacre
00:09:04.920 --> 00:09:07.560
carried out in the Bataclan Theatre.
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:11.680
According to the Paris prosecutor
he was investigated in 2012
00:09:11.760 --> 00:09:14.160
for associations
with a terrorist group.
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:09.560
I had heard of your methodology.
00:11:09.640 --> 00:11:12.800
The idea of discussing
a film you haven't seen.
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.640
It's essential to say
something interesting.
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:21.160
Yes. You can apply it to anything.
00:11:21.400 --> 00:11:22.400
Yes.
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:25.440
But people find it
a bit embarrassing,
00:11:25.520 --> 00:11:27.560
but it's a good method.
00:11:27.640 --> 00:11:30.920
Maybe they're conscious
that they have little time
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.440
to discuss everything
they don't know.
00:11:33.520 --> 00:11:34.520
Of course.
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:38.160
In that sense,
00:11:38.520 --> 00:11:40.640
I know we are going to be successful.
00:11:40.800 --> 00:11:43.760
Revisiting classics by David Lean,
Brief Encounter
00:11:43.880 --> 00:11:45.680
or Robert Altman's Short cuts
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:49.720
or Werner Herzog's
Even Dwarfs Started Small
00:11:49.800 --> 00:11:52.040
But before these mini sections
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:55.600
there's a page in which Óscar
discusses in-depth
00:11:55.680 --> 00:11:58.080
a film that he hasn't seen..
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.920
I thought: "What are the elements
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:36.240
"that aren't the film itself
00:12:38.160 --> 00:12:42.120
"and give some type of information?"
00:12:42.400 --> 00:12:44.080
There's the poster,
00:12:44.560 --> 00:12:47.000
the name of the film,
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:51.760
the prosody,
the sound of the words in the title
00:12:52.160 --> 00:12:54.520
the sound of the actors' words.
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:56.760
The colour...
00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:58.840
The poster in all its glory.
00:12:58.920 --> 00:13:01.720
The drawing,
the colour, the texture,
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:04.400
the shape, everything.
00:13:04.560 --> 00:13:08.280
With these elements,
we can create a critique.
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:29.680
What do you think of
the Las Palmas Festival?
00:13:29.760 --> 00:13:31.080
Very interesting.
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:33.480
There are great films.
00:13:33.560 --> 00:13:36.120
They have a very
interesting programme
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:40.120
all sections are interesting
and very good.
00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:41.920
How many have you seen?
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:44.000
-None.
-None?
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:47.400
-None.
-How can they seem interesting?
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:51.600
Because of the title and the poster.
00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:56.720
The films give out a certain energy
00:13:57.400 --> 00:14:01.400
which you can see and sense.
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:04.080
-A critique can't be invented.
-What?
00:14:04.680 --> 00:14:08.000
I don't think something invented
can be called a critique.
00:14:11.920 --> 00:14:15.720
I believe that critiques
shouldn't be taken seriously
00:14:15.800 --> 00:14:17.400
or anything really
00:14:17.760 --> 00:14:22.720
or you'll clash with stupidity
00:14:22.800 --> 00:14:24.440
and pedantry.
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:29.040
But there's a minimum level
that shouldn't be exceeded
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:32.600
or you begin to mislead and lie.
00:14:32.920 --> 00:14:34.480
You've said that
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:38.440
one of the enemies
of critiques or journalism is
00:14:38.520 --> 00:14:43.040
the interest, the propaganda,
the market and political objectives.
00:14:43.640 --> 00:14:47.800
If there's something that a critique
is opposed to, it's invention.
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:50.960
Then it's a novel or fiction,
but not journalism.
00:15:32.280 --> 00:15:33.880
You've just watched crap?
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:36.360
That's because you watch films.
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:42.200
How are you?
00:15:44.400 --> 00:15:46.000
I'm at the hotel.
00:15:47.640 --> 00:15:50.320
A film without a story
would be amazing.
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:54.000
The non-existent film.
That'd be genius.
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:55.040
Yes.
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:58.280
But a black screen
for a couple of hours counts.
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:02.080
Of course it does.
So does silence.
00:16:02.160 --> 00:16:03.240
Of course.
00:16:04.680 --> 00:16:07.880
Cinema in the end is absurd
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:12.320
it's the return to the cave
for the primitive man
00:16:13.800 --> 00:16:17.000
contemplating emptiness.
-Of course.
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:21.680
-Shelter.
-Darkness and everything together.
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.640
It's pure deceit in the end
00:16:27.160 --> 00:16:28.800
an absurdity.
00:16:28.880 --> 00:16:33.400
I'd rather be in bed,
on my own with the computer,
00:16:33.680 --> 00:16:34.920
watching a film.
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:37.480
Being in a place
sorrounded by people,
00:16:37.560 --> 00:16:39.240
that's not my cup of tea.
00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:41.960
So I might have evolved
00:16:42.680 --> 00:16:45.440
from a primitive man
to something else.
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:50.520
At what time's your film?
-At nine.
00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:52.320
-At nine today.
-Yes.
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:56.840
OK, I might go.
I should be able to.
00:16:58.120 --> 00:17:00.880
Moscow by Rafa Navarro Miñón,
Enjoy.
00:17:42.080 --> 00:17:43.800
That's it you know.
00:17:49.520 --> 00:17:51.560
It's a kind of a parabola.
00:17:53.320 --> 00:17:56.800
But they are
three clearly defined characters.
00:17:57.720 --> 00:17:59.440
Completely defined.
00:18:03.840 --> 00:18:06.720
Because it's you, you and you.
00:18:09.280 --> 00:18:12.480
It's defined by the...
-By the U.
00:18:12.800 --> 00:18:15.040
-No, by the...
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.680
by their solitude.
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:20.800
Of course.
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:24.720
I say it if you've seen the film...
00:18:24.800 --> 00:18:27.360
They are isolated from one another.
00:18:30.320 --> 00:18:33.280
-Because you've seen the film...
-What?
00:18:33.360 --> 00:18:35.840
-Have you seen the film?
-Yes.
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:39.440
-You didn't fall asleep...
-I don't think so.
00:18:40.600 --> 00:18:42.240
I think I saw it.
00:18:44.800 --> 00:18:46.240
You see "Moscow".
00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:51.120
-At the start...
-At what point does "Moscow" appear?
00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:52.960
At the beginning...
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:57.480
-When does it start?
-That's the problem.
00:18:57.560 --> 00:18:59.600
When does a film start?
00:18:59.760 --> 00:19:02.760
At the beginning,
in the middle, at the end?
00:19:02.840 --> 00:19:06.280
When do you see Moscow
and know that it's Moscow?
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:10.800
Well you see Moscow,
when you see Moscow.
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:15.480
That's marvellous
00:19:15.560 --> 00:19:18.440
because the most important thing
00:19:18.760 --> 00:19:21.800
in the Moscow film...
00:19:23.520 --> 00:19:24.920
is seeing Moscow.
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:27.000
-Of course.
-In any scene.
00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:31.480
-Even if it doesn't look like it.
-Exactly.
00:19:31.800 --> 00:19:35.280
Because Moscow
transcends the name "Moscow".
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:41.200
In that way,
the film is paradigmatic.
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:53.320
If you had to somehow rate the film,
00:19:54.600 --> 00:19:57.000
would you do it
positively or negatively?
00:19:59.520 --> 00:20:01.520
I think that...
00:20:03.320 --> 00:20:06.240
Because what I really care about
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:10.520
is the jury's opinion,
so I can get the award.
00:20:10.600 --> 00:20:11.640
Sure.
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:14.120
The rest is useless.
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:17.160
-If you say...
-Yes, it doesn't matter at all.
00:20:17.800 --> 00:20:20.720
Anything I can say is useless.
00:20:20.800 --> 00:20:25.840
Unles you publish it somewhere...
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:28.400
Or unless a member
of the jury is my friend.
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:31.800
That's how things work,
00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:34.920
through influence and connections.
00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:37.480
One of the members
of the jury is my friend.
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:42.600
But...
00:20:48.600 --> 00:20:53.160
I think you explore
all the possibilites from A to B.
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:10.640
SENIOR CITIZEN
00:21:10.840 --> 00:21:14.400
President of the Spanish Association of
Film Critics and delegate of FIPRESCI
00:21:18.080 --> 00:21:20.720
ÓSCAR PEYROU
CHANGE OF ADDRESS
00:21:45.120 --> 00:21:46.840
How old was Silvia?
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:49.280
She was...
00:21:50.040 --> 00:21:51.880
She was 70.
00:21:53.840 --> 00:21:57.000
It's a young age to die.
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:20.600
I'm where I used to live.
00:22:21.040 --> 00:22:24.520
Until we separated,
my daughter lives here now.
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:27.040
I came to pick up a picture
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:30.320
I don't know how long I'll be.
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:32.960
Shall I call you when I finish?
00:22:40.600 --> 00:22:41.920
Bye!
00:24:05.560 --> 00:24:08.200
Did you talk to her before she died?
00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:12.720
-What?
-Did you talk to her before she died?
00:24:12.800 --> 00:24:14.960
No, because she was very angry.
00:24:15.040 --> 00:24:17.520
-She was still angry.
-Yes.
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:19.480
Does it hurt you?
00:24:20.840 --> 00:24:22.880
-What?
-Does it hurt you?
00:24:24.320 --> 00:24:25.400
No.
00:24:28.120 --> 00:24:30.680
I don't know,
She didn't want to speak.
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:34.840
I was unforgivable.
00:24:36.280 --> 00:24:40.600
I left her for a younger woman.
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:46.680
That is unforgivable.
00:24:47.760 --> 00:24:49.000
Yes, it hurts.
00:24:54.320 --> 00:24:57.520
On top of that she became ill
right after that.
00:24:57.800 --> 00:25:00.760
It was a terrible mess.
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:21.800
You got up without limping.
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:24.400
You left quickly not to be seen.
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:25.480
Yes.
00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:30.600
I thought:
"That old bastard again!"
00:25:33.040 --> 00:25:36.400
It's a good technique
to avoid queues.
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:37.600
It's great!
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:39.800
Especially in airports with
00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:42.760
a lot of slow immigration procedures
00:25:43.320 --> 00:25:45.960
you can spend 3 to 4 hours waiting.
00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:49.920
Or connections
where you change terminal
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:52.440
It's difficult and time-consuming
00:25:52.520 --> 00:25:54.520
and you could get it wrong
00:25:54.600 --> 00:25:57.680
So you ask the airline
for a wheelchair,
00:25:57.760 --> 00:26:00.160
they take you, no questions asked
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:04.360
But isn't there a disabled person
without a wheelchair?
00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:08.080
No. There are many wheelchairs
and people.
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:11.520
-OK...
-I don't feel guilty at all.
00:26:11.600 --> 00:26:12.600
OK.
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:43.960
-Have you seen any films?
-What?
00:27:44.040 --> 00:27:46.400
-Have you seen any films?
-No
00:27:47.600 --> 00:27:49.800
I saw a snippet on YouTube.
00:27:51.280 --> 00:27:52.360
It was really good.
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:54.760
-But nothing at the festival?
-No
00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:00.440
20 hours on a plane
and you don't watch a film?
00:28:00.520 --> 00:28:01.640
You only came for me.
00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:03.800
I came to buy underpants.
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:09.080
Why does no one believe me?
00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:11.080
I believe you.
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:18.480
Some people go to the sales in London
00:28:19.520 --> 00:28:23.160
to buy a cashmere jumper, for example
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:29.880
the cashmere jumper may cost
around €200 in the sales
00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:35.120
And people spend €500
to travel there. How about that?
00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:37.080
And you criticise them?
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:38.160
Of course.
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:41.400
But you and your underpants,
isn't it the same?
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:43.160
No, I didn't pay to travel.
00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:45.320
You're a right bastard
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:47.960
If I paid to travel, I wouldn't.
00:28:48.040 --> 00:28:50.680
-The flight, the hotel...
-Nothing.
00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:53.720
Óscar's been with us for many years.
00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:56.280
Some 15 years visiting us.
00:28:56.360 --> 00:28:59.360
-Not 15 years, 27 years.
-27 years?
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:02.080
-I was here before you
-I can't remember.
00:29:02.600 --> 00:29:05.360
But it's a tradition we always do.
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:07.080
I love having you here
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:10.040
I have invited
the Argentinian Consul.
00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:11.560
-Thank you
-Very good
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:13.360
-Welcome
-Thank you
00:29:18.120 --> 00:29:23.040
A beautiful 40-year-old woman
appeared out of the blue
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:24.480
so...
00:29:24.560 --> 00:29:27.760
-That's never a problem
-No, never.
00:29:28.840 --> 00:29:32.400
In the end she was a psychopath,
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:34.000
that's another story.
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:37.560
The fact is that we separated
00:29:40.840 --> 00:29:42.400
obviously...
00:29:43.280 --> 00:29:45.600
Silvia had had various cancers
00:29:46.120 --> 00:29:48.080
and in the end...
00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:54.520
she was very scared of the scans
because of the radiation
00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:59.640
despite the doctors saying
she had to have a scan
00:29:59.920 --> 00:30:02.680
she only had a radiography a year.
00:30:02.840 --> 00:30:04.200
That's sufficient.
00:30:04.840 --> 00:30:10.760
But the last radiography didn't show
a tumour she had in her lung.
00:31:18.840 --> 00:31:20.720
I struggle to sleep.
00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:24.720
-What's wrong?
-I'm jet-lagged
00:31:25.120 --> 00:31:29.320
The time change...
I wake up at 4 a.m.
00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:31.040
then I can't sleep...
00:31:31.120 --> 00:31:33.680
It's not jet lag
or the time change.
00:31:33.760 --> 00:31:36.640
It's that conscience of ours
00:31:37.040 --> 00:31:39.240
full of things and stuff
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:42.680
that doesn't let us sleep.
00:32:05.600 --> 00:32:08.680
-Your critique isn't objective.
-It is.
00:32:08.760 --> 00:32:11.320
No, you're inventing the film.
00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:15.560
It's based on the posters.
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:20.320
If I see the film, it's subjective
because it's my opinion.
00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:22.280
That's completely subjective.
00:32:22.520 --> 00:32:25.720
You don't need to watch the film
to be objective.
00:32:26.360 --> 00:32:28.360
You should discuss objective things.
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:31.960
The poster, the actors,
the name of the actors,
00:32:32.080 --> 00:32:36.640
the prosody;
the sound of the words of the names...
00:32:37.120 --> 00:32:39.040
Then you draw conclusions.
00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:42.840
So you're the only film critic
who doesn't watch films
00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:46.000
you just look at the posters?
-No, there's another one.
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:56.600
Everyone has a shell.
Even those who think they don't.
00:32:56.680 --> 00:32:58.600
The shell is what you built
00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:03.120
from the fear
that structures and governs you.
00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:04.760
You know? Shells are...
00:33:04.840 --> 00:33:07.640
That's why shells are linked to fear.
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:10.560
Yes, but you don't let fear take over
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:11.680
your feelings.
00:33:11.760 --> 00:33:15.040
Initially, it's a process
not a sudden change.
00:33:15.120 --> 00:33:20.320
Exactly. But you are yourself only
when you bury your head in the pillow
00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:23.360
and you're no longer
in day-to-day life.
00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:26.040
Fear won't allow you to enjoy life
00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:08.480
-Blink first.
-OK.
00:34:08.560 --> 00:34:09.840
What letter is it?
00:34:11.240 --> 00:34:12.680
I can't see it well.
00:34:14.560 --> 00:34:17.000
I think the other glasses work better.
00:34:17.520 --> 00:34:20.080
G or D, or...
00:34:20.640 --> 00:34:21.920
And now?
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:39.720
UKIP's celebration
didn't wait
00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:42.360
and Nigel Farage, far-right leader
00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:45.440
has already proclaimed
Britain's independence day
00:34:45.520 --> 00:34:47.400
and asked
Cameron to resign.
00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:07.840
-Here, here, below.
-At the bottom.
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:11.720
You've deleted it.
00:35:14.200 --> 00:35:16.240
-I'll use my thumb.
-OK
00:35:20.200 --> 00:35:22.720
-Here's your pass.
-OK
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:36.480
Yes...
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:39.800
Yes, I can see that film tomorrow.
00:35:41.680 --> 00:35:43.040
OK, fine.
00:35:43.640 --> 00:35:46.840
We can meet in half and hour
at the theatre.
00:35:48.680 --> 00:35:50.240
There's no one left.
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:52.840
It's really unbelievable.
00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:57.800
I feel like a sort of alien,
00:35:57.880 --> 00:36:00.040
someone from another planet
00:36:00.520 --> 00:36:04.440
or a man who lives for 500 years
00:36:04.520 --> 00:36:07.400
and is in the same place
500 years later.
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:11.560
It's odd not seeing anyone.
00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:13.840
There could be one, two, three...
00:36:14.160 --> 00:36:18.080
Maybe not many,
because many might have retired,
00:36:18.800 --> 00:36:21.160
but it's odd not to see anyone.
00:36:21.240 --> 00:36:22.960
It's like day and night.
00:36:39.080 --> 00:36:40.880
-Good morning.
-Hello.
00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:42.840
-Orange juice?
-Yes please.
00:36:47.240 --> 00:36:49.360
-Coffee?
-Solo decaf.
00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:51.280
-Americano?
-Yes, please.
00:36:56.520 --> 00:36:57.600
Thanks.
00:37:04.560 --> 00:37:05.680
Next question.
00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:09.840
Mr McGregor,
McEwan, sorry...
00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:14.960
Do you think that
the posters promoting your film
00:37:15.240 --> 00:37:20.520
clearly and intimately reflect
00:37:20.600 --> 00:37:22.440
the sense of the film?
00:37:22.560 --> 00:37:23.720
In other words,
00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:27.160
do you think a film review
could be done
00:37:27.240 --> 00:37:29.160
with the poster alone?
00:37:54.960 --> 00:37:58.520
You should never forget that
00:37:59.040 --> 00:38:03.080
you are someone valuable
as long as you express yourself.
00:38:03.400 --> 00:38:04.400
If you don't...
00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:07.400
No, of course.
If you don't, it's no use
00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:08.440
and you're nobody.
00:38:08.520 --> 00:38:10.280
If a great tenor...
00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:14.560
or a mezzo soprano lose their voice
no one will contact them.
00:38:14.640 --> 00:38:16.080
That's how it is.
00:38:16.160 --> 00:38:19.840
It's good that
you can get away from journalism.
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:22.200
-Yes
-You are there for years
00:38:22.560 --> 00:38:24.600
working, fighting...
00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:27.360
But you need to leave
at some stage.
00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:50.120
He defends the invented critic.
00:38:50.200 --> 00:38:53.520
How do you define
this idea of Óscar Peyrou?
00:39:25.560 --> 00:39:28.280
Thank you Mr Klaus Eder,
president of FIPRESCI.
00:39:34.720 --> 00:39:37.680
What interests me the most
are the people bothered
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:41.760
by the articles in Canibaal.
00:39:44.200 --> 00:39:45.200
Who...?
00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:48.600
Receiving praise
is the least important.
00:39:48.920 --> 00:39:52.600
I much prefer to be slandered.
00:39:53.360 --> 00:39:57.400
I think of defamation
as a mark of honesty.
00:39:57.480 --> 00:39:59.800
-Like a praise
-It's an honest expression
00:39:59.880 --> 00:40:03.080
of interest in what you do.
-It's a negative praise.
00:40:03.160 --> 00:40:03.720
Yes.
00:40:13.600 --> 00:40:19.200
These newspapers are part
of a large global company
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:24.640
which has film producers,
publishing houses...
00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:29.840
And the critics of these newspapers
have to express a favourable critique
00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:34.160
of the films produced
by their company.
00:42:35.720 --> 00:42:37.280
The awakening was...?
00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:39.000
The first one.
00:42:39.120 --> 00:42:44.000
The character who decides
not to disconnect his mobile
00:42:44.080 --> 00:42:48.880
who sees them all hooked.
It had something, the music.
00:42:49.080 --> 00:42:53.120
And the other one?
Start over?
00:42:53.560 --> 00:42:55.560
Start over is with the woman
00:42:55.640 --> 00:42:59.280
who talks about Instagram
and the guy who's into gaming.
00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:01.400
-It was long.
-With the dream.
00:43:01.480 --> 00:43:04.680
They went back in the past
and met in the street.
00:45:43.800 --> 00:45:48.120
-He really liked this morning's film
-Yes
00:45:48.200 --> 00:45:54.280
I'm a bit undecided but the argument
of the first film is significant.
00:45:54.360 --> 00:45:58.640
Anne Fontaine already has
a long career.
00:45:58.720 --> 00:46:02.840
Yes, I think it's a good film too.
00:46:02.920 --> 00:46:08.600
It's correct, but I don't know
which is better between
00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:10.920
The innocents and Clash.
00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:14.640
That's the issue obviously,
00:46:14.720 --> 00:46:17.320
how do we decide?
00:46:17.640 --> 00:46:21.880
The innocents is complexer
than the other one.
00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:25.280
I think it's the most beautiful.
00:46:25.360 --> 00:46:27.600
- The Innocents?
-Yes, The innocents
00:46:27.720 --> 00:46:31.680
I tolk René that
00:46:31.880 --> 00:46:38.360
the film this morning
doesn't present a particular film.
00:46:38.480 --> 00:46:41.640
It can give more visibility to
00:46:41.720 --> 00:46:44.800
a new young director...
00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:48.800
-A beginner.
-Your point of view is interesting.
00:47:31.640 --> 00:47:38.200
And the International Federation
of Film Critics award...
00:47:41.240 --> 00:47:43.480
And the award for...
00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:50.320
the International Film Fest...
00:47:50.720 --> 00:47:51.800
No...
00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:54.920
And the International...
00:48:03.880 --> 00:48:05.360
-This way.
-Thanks.
00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:24.200
Óscar...
00:48:25.960 --> 00:48:30.920
The jury of the International
Federation of Film Critics
00:48:31.120 --> 00:48:35.640
composed of
Salvatore Marfella, from Italy,
00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:38.360
René Marx, from France,
00:48:38.600 --> 00:48:43.080
and Óscar Peyrou,
I think that's me, from Spain,
00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:50.160
have decided to award
the FIPRESCI prize to
00:48:50.400 --> 00:48:53.120
the French-Polish co-production
00:48:53.480 --> 00:48:57.200
Les innocentes,
The Innocents,
00:48:58.760 --> 00:49:01.320
directed by Anne Fontaine.
00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:16.120
Give a warm welcome to
00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:21.200
Enrique González Kühn
form Caramel, the distributor.
00:49:42.280 --> 00:49:44.360
-Done?
-A few words please.
00:49:44.880 --> 00:49:46.240
You come this way please.
00:49:46.320 --> 00:49:47.880
Hello, good evening.
00:49:48.280 --> 00:49:50.040
I'll be brief.
00:49:50.280 --> 00:49:53.080
Anne Fontaine was with us here
00:49:53.160 --> 00:49:56.200
with the media
but had to return to France.
00:49:56.400 --> 00:49:59.280
The Innocents is a true story
00:49:59.360 --> 00:50:02.720
directed by a woman,
played by women too.
00:50:02.880 --> 00:50:07.120
It's a film about faith,
love and maternity.
00:50:48.240 --> 00:50:52.600
They give a 95% chance of victory
00:50:52.680 --> 00:50:54.640
to the Republican candidate.
00:50:54.720 --> 00:50:56.760
Trump has been the whole evening
00:50:56.840 --> 00:51:00.040
accompanied by his wife
and family members.
00:51:00.120 --> 00:51:02.680
We guess he'll soon want to appear
00:51:02.760 --> 00:51:05.080
to announce his victory.
00:52:10.280 --> 00:52:14.520
You were closer
to dad than mum.
00:52:14.920 --> 00:52:19.800
For me it was the opposite,
I was closer to mum than dad.
00:52:19.880 --> 00:52:22.400
Perhaps a product of the same...
00:52:23.880 --> 00:52:26.720
I didn't feel
like dad didn't love me,
00:52:29.080 --> 00:52:32.080
but I felt that he preferred you.
00:52:32.880 --> 00:52:35.760
-Oh, really?
-He had his reasons.
00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:39.880
Two days after arriving in Madrid
00:52:40.160 --> 00:52:42.920
I suddenly woke up one morning
00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:47.520
with a really terrible
sense of sadness
00:52:47.680 --> 00:52:51.240
and I thought:
"Nobody's persecuting me".
00:52:51.720 --> 00:52:54.880
I realised that politics
didn't interest me
00:52:54.960 --> 00:52:56.400
as much as adventure.
00:53:15.960 --> 00:53:18.200
The state's firing
workers with cancer,
00:53:18.280 --> 00:53:22.280
disabilities, pregnant women,
It's a disaster.
00:53:22.360 --> 00:53:25.000
The only way to stop this
00:53:25.080 --> 00:53:27.680
is for all workers
to strike on the 29th
00:53:27.760 --> 00:53:32.000
and gather
in defence of those jobs.
00:53:33.120 --> 00:53:36.400
-For the number to show?
-Well the door.
00:53:40.560 --> 00:53:41.760
Here we go.
00:53:51.760 --> 00:53:53.240
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
00:53:53.320 --> 00:53:54.320
Bye.
00:54:23.640 --> 00:54:25.320
No work for three months,
00:54:25.400 --> 00:54:28.000
but it's not Macri's fault.
00:54:28.080 --> 00:54:30.480
He's taking harsh measures
00:54:30.560 --> 00:54:32.920
to lower inflation.
-It's against the people.
00:54:33.000 --> 00:54:35.520
Lowering it isn't easy,
someone has to.
00:54:35.600 --> 00:54:37.120
Corruption is rife.
00:54:37.520 --> 00:54:39.240
An account in Switzerland...
00:54:39.760 --> 00:54:41.520
-Hi.
-Hi. How are you?
00:54:41.600 --> 00:54:43.160
Wanna talk about corruption?
00:54:49.120 --> 00:54:54.440
The thing with you is that
you were disrespectful
00:54:54.520 --> 00:54:59.280
or someone who didn't adhere
to any rules
00:54:59.800 --> 00:55:05.960
You created a lot of exasperation.
00:55:06.400 --> 00:55:09.240
If you never swept when you had to
00:55:09.320 --> 00:55:12.960
when you had a task,
you didn't do it...
00:55:13.040 --> 00:55:17.680
Why should I work, if I was in jail?
00:55:18.360 --> 00:55:23.360
Yes,
but as the Stalinists went about
00:55:23.720 --> 00:55:25.640
sharing the tasks
00:55:25.720 --> 00:55:28.560
commission for this,
commission for that,
00:55:29.040 --> 00:55:31.600
you were
an element that was....
00:55:31.680 --> 00:55:34.640
-Provocative.
-Provocative, against all of that
00:55:35.480 --> 00:55:37.640
and you only redeemed yourself
00:55:37.880 --> 00:55:41.960
in the way
00:55:42.720 --> 00:55:44.320
you'd read stories.
00:55:45.800 --> 00:55:48.280
You started telling stories,
00:55:48.360 --> 00:55:50.640
they were very funny.
00:55:51.120 --> 00:55:55.280
People would gather
to listen to you and...
00:55:55.360 --> 00:55:58.360
-I don't remember any of that.
-Yes.
00:55:59.000 --> 00:56:04.080
Well, it was your way
of integrating yourself in the group.
00:56:04.440 --> 00:56:09.000
That's how your "Count",
your nickname, came about.
00:56:45.080 --> 00:56:47.360
We inform the people
that as of 10 o'clock
00:56:47.440 --> 00:56:51.720
the country is under the operational
control of the military junta.
00:56:52.360 --> 00:56:54.800
We recommend to all inhabitants
00:56:54.880 --> 00:56:58.720
stric compliance with
the provisions and directives
00:56:58.880 --> 00:57:01.040
emanating from the military,
00:57:01.120 --> 00:57:03.360
security or police authorities,
00:57:03.680 --> 00:57:05.680
and to be extremely careful
00:57:05.800 --> 00:57:09.680
to avoid individual or group
actions and attitudes
00:57:09.800 --> 00:57:14.480
that may require drastic intervention
from the operating personnel.
00:57:14.560 --> 00:57:18.240
Signed: Jorge Rafael Videla,
Lieutenant General
00:57:18.320 --> 00:57:20.280
army commander-in-chief.
00:57:38.760 --> 00:57:41.600
-When you left and not me.
-Yes
00:57:42.320 --> 00:57:44.120
I always thought of
00:57:45.320 --> 00:57:48.760
the option to escape this way
00:57:49.560 --> 00:57:52.160
to Carmelo and to Uruguay.
-Uruguay
00:57:54.600 --> 00:57:57.040
It's the principles that live on.
00:57:57.120 --> 00:57:59.680
-I still believe in a better society.
-Yes.
00:58:00.600 --> 00:58:03.240
-The collective dream.
-The collective dream.
00:58:03.320 --> 00:58:08.240
That was the idea
beyond the mistakes made
00:58:08.320 --> 00:58:10.160
even the nonsense
00:58:10.480 --> 00:58:13.080
that was beautiful.
00:58:14.160 --> 00:58:16.720
There could be differences
00:58:16.800 --> 00:58:19.160
but in theory
it was a better world
00:58:19.240 --> 00:58:20.320
a different society.
00:58:20.400 --> 00:58:23.280
That was our dream
and the collective worked.
00:58:23.360 --> 00:58:28.240
It was beautiful
to be part of a large collective
00:58:28.440 --> 00:58:31.600
a large proportion of
youths in the 70s.
00:58:32.120 --> 00:58:34.960
Now we say
we won't do the revolution
00:58:35.040 --> 00:58:37.240
but we'll still mess around,
-Yes.
00:58:50.520 --> 00:58:52.560
Why were you being followed, Óscar?
00:58:52.840 --> 00:58:55.880
I'm not sure I was, I though I was.
00:58:55.960 --> 00:58:57.760
In that newspaper...
00:58:57.840 --> 00:58:59.200
What did you write about?
00:58:59.280 --> 00:59:03.640
I used to write about
foreign affairs and so...
00:59:03.720 --> 00:59:05.840
Not about politics?
00:59:05.920 --> 00:59:09.160
Well, I wrote about politics
for some time,
00:59:09.240 --> 00:59:11.640
but it was just information,
00:59:11.720 --> 00:59:15.760
I wouldn't give my opinion,
pure information only.
00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:16.840
Reports.
00:59:16.920 --> 00:59:18.720
Yes, I'd report what people said,
00:59:18.800 --> 00:59:22.880
Juventud Peronista,
Juventud Radical, and so...
00:59:23.000 --> 00:59:24.960
Maybe it was
because you were a journalist.
00:59:25.080 --> 00:59:26.760
Maybe...
00:59:27.280 --> 00:59:32.560
Three or four journalists
had been hijacked and killed.
00:59:32.720 --> 00:59:36.560
I'd flee every time
they killed one.
00:59:36.920 --> 00:59:39.800
Maybe it was just my imagination.
00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:42.160
No, it was because
you were a journalist.
00:59:42.240 --> 00:59:45.440
That was more like
a Russian roulette.
01:00:53.880 --> 01:00:55.440
-Hello.
-Hello.
01:00:56.640 --> 01:00:58.240
-How are you?
-How are you?
01:00:58.320 --> 01:01:00.960
-How are you?
-Nice to meet you.
01:01:04.320 --> 01:01:08.480
We've lowered the light
because I have something to read
01:01:08.560 --> 01:01:11.240
I get a bit dazzled,
I don't see too well.
01:01:11.320 --> 01:01:14.040
-Oh, OK.
-But it's fixed.
01:01:14.240 --> 01:01:15.440
Perfect.
01:01:15.720 --> 01:01:18.800
"Manuel was my master and adviser.
01:01:19.120 --> 01:01:22.000
"He's an expert
in women and literature
01:01:22.080 --> 01:01:24.440
"which is all I am
interested in at the time.
01:01:24.520 --> 01:01:27.240
"Maybe politics was important
for me at the time,
01:01:27.320 --> 01:01:29.160
"or maybe it was
just an excuse.
01:01:29.240 --> 01:01:31.400
"We had a violent argument once.
01:01:31.480 --> 01:01:35.440
"From then on,
I despised him excessively.
01:01:36.040 --> 01:01:38.280
"It's hot in the cemetery.
01:01:38.360 --> 01:01:41.520
"There are many people
around the coffin.
01:01:41.760 --> 01:01:44.960
"I stand back near a cypress tree
01:01:45.040 --> 01:01:48.320
"and think that his friends
look at me and whisper:
01:01:48.400 --> 01:01:50.520
"That's the nephew who hated him.
01:01:51.360 --> 01:01:53.560
"Borges talks seated
01:01:53.680 --> 01:01:56.120
"in a voice so low
that few hear him.
01:01:56.320 --> 01:02:00.360
"It seems he'll continue
chatting to Manuel about something
01:02:00.440 --> 01:02:02.760
"that death couldn't stop."
01:02:03.360 --> 01:02:06.640
"OH, YOU WHO CRY FOR US,
DON'T LET THE PAIN HAUNT YOU,
01:02:06.720 --> 01:02:10.000
"LOOK AT THE NEW LIFE,
NOT THE ONE PASSED".
01:02:10.080 --> 01:02:11.200
SAINT AUGUSTINE
01:02:12.080 --> 01:02:13.840
Where's the Perón family?
01:02:13.960 --> 01:02:15.520
-The Perón familiy?
-Yes
01:02:16.000 --> 01:02:17.760
-Dead, I think.
-What?
01:02:17.840 --> 01:02:19.080
Dead.
01:02:19.200 --> 01:02:23.040
-Where are they here?
-Oh, I have no idea.
01:02:40.920 --> 01:02:43.120
-Antonio Óscar Peyrou?
-Yes.
01:02:48.320 --> 01:02:51.920
-The festival ends soon, right?
-Yes, in three days.
01:02:52.000 --> 01:02:53.120
It ends on Sunday.
01:02:54.000 --> 01:02:56.320
It's a bit late
to pick up your pass.
01:02:56.480 --> 01:02:57.680
Yes, well...
01:02:58.280 --> 01:03:00.040
given what there is.
01:03:47.000 --> 01:03:51.280
We're currently descending
towards Madrid
01:03:51.360 --> 01:03:53.880
where we'll be landing
in 15 minutes.
01:04:12.680 --> 01:04:14.200
It all started...
01:04:33.960 --> 01:04:36.400
This book has a lot to do
with scepticism.
01:04:36.480 --> 01:04:37.400
Yes.
01:04:37.880 --> 01:04:41.440
There's some tragicomedy
in all these stories.
01:04:41.760 --> 01:04:43.760
There's something evasive
01:04:45.000 --> 01:04:46.160
Yes, yes...
01:04:46.240 --> 01:04:50.520
Personally, I liked seeing
that there was a lot of
01:04:50.600 --> 01:04:54.160
comedy of serious topics,
comedy of things.
01:04:54.240 --> 01:04:55.560
Yes...
01:04:57.600 --> 01:05:01.320
I don't want to bother you
with a date.
01:05:01.400 --> 01:05:03.920
When could you give us
an approximate date
01:05:04.000 --> 01:05:06.240
for us to calculate the next steps?
01:05:06.360 --> 01:05:11.440
I think it'd be ready
in a couple of weeks or a month.
01:05:25.320 --> 01:05:26.680
Did you watch Arctic?
01:05:28.000 --> 01:05:30.440
-Is that the opening film?
-Yes.
01:05:30.520 --> 01:05:32.040
-No, I didn't.
-OK
01:05:32.120 --> 01:05:34.760
-I don't think it was good?
-It was.
01:05:35.040 --> 01:05:36.400
-Was it good?
-Very good.
01:05:36.480 --> 01:05:38.400
I was told it wasn't.
01:05:38.480 --> 01:05:40.920
No, it was really good.
01:05:41.000 --> 01:05:46.000
A real independent film,
fixed shots, frontality, close-ups.
01:05:57.240 --> 01:05:59.880
For fuck's sake!
01:06:10.600 --> 01:06:11.720
Good afternoon.
01:06:11.880 --> 01:06:14.560
Thank you for coming
to the presentation
01:06:14.640 --> 01:06:18.800
of Óscar Peyrou's book
Al entrar en el río: una antología,
01:06:18.880 --> 01:06:20.360
published by Cannibaal.
01:06:20.960 --> 01:06:24.480
When I was reading the short stories,
01:06:24.560 --> 01:06:27.920
stories or texts,
I don't know what they are,
01:06:29.320 --> 01:06:31.720
to be published in this book
01:06:32.720 --> 01:06:35.560
I discovered that...
01:06:36.320 --> 01:06:40.760
It was like a broken mirror.
01:06:41.600 --> 01:06:45.000
Each piece of that mirror
01:06:45.520 --> 01:06:48.440
was... a text.
01:06:49.040 --> 01:06:54.240
If they were put together
like a puzzle
01:06:55.320 --> 01:06:56.480
they revealed...
01:06:58.800 --> 01:07:01.520
my face or me
01:07:01.600 --> 01:07:04.080
as if it were an autobiography.
01:07:05.080 --> 01:07:09.080
"One morning, two weeks
after reachinig Madrid, I discovered
01:07:10.160 --> 01:07:13.800
"with a feeling of surprise mixed with
01:07:14.680 --> 01:07:17.640
"the prestige of adventure
and horror
01:07:18.240 --> 01:07:21.760
"that perhaps it was only a game.
01:07:22.760 --> 01:07:26.640
"That day I woke up
with an immense sadness
01:07:27.240 --> 01:07:30.320
"as if I had lost all hope,
01:07:30.760 --> 01:07:33.320
"as if my life had no purpose.
01:07:34.000 --> 01:07:37.720
" 'It's horrible', I thought
'No one's following me' ".
