“An even richer affair than Sentimental Value. A fabulous film about filmmaking, and an astute and hard-hitting one about family dynamics.”
– Time Out
“Bardem gives his scariest performance since No Country for Old Men.”
– The Guardian
The Beloved El ser querido
The acclaimed director Esteban Martínez is a legend both for his films and for his past marked by violence and excess. For his new project, he offers his daughter Emilia a role under the pretext of helping her with her stalled acting career. Living together on set will foster a closeness they haven’t shared for years, but it will also reopen old wounds that never healed.
directed by Rodrigo Sorogoyen, cast Javier Bardem, Victoria Luengo, Melina Matthews, Marina Foïs, Malena Villa, Mourad Ouani, Pepa Gracia, Raúl Prieto, Pablo Gómez Pando, Raúl Arévalo Nuria Prims Laura Birn
