Filmkus - The Beloved

The renowned director Esteban Martínez is a living legend, not only because of his impressive films, but also because of a past full of violence and decadent excesses. For his latest project, he gives his daughter Emilia a role, ostensibly to breathe new life into her stalled acting career. Esteban is not the man to make a grand mea culpa, but something in him seems to want to come to terms with the father he (not) has been at the time. Working together on the set brings them closer together than has been the case in years, but at the same time, old, never-healed wounds are torn open again. Rodrigo Sorogoyen ("Las bestias") makes a tense family drama together with Javier Bardem about the art of filmmaking. "A masterclass in tension building." *** Humo
