Tristesse
by Emilio Ruiz
(Fiction, Espagne, 2020, 103’, C, En ST)
with Enrique Simón, Miguelo García, Rebecca Arrosse
After the flop of his last film, the director Juan Bravo lives in semi-retirement in the capital of Asturias. His friend and producer proposes him to come back to direct a new movie. The offer makes Juan question himself whether to accept or to retire definitively. Lost in his memories, he wanders the city of Oviedo looking for inspiration…
« Making the film has been like a catharsis because in part what the protagonist tells is my own story and my experiences. It is very difficult to spend so many years enduring pressure for ideological causes, especially with the use of justice or the public administration as repressive means. … Perhaps, the movie does not obey the current canons of the industry, but it needed the camera to create a choreography with the sets and with the actors. » Emilio Ruiz dans lanuevaespagna.es
« Oviedo is the protagonist of the film. The camera has tried to portray its spirit, its essence, through streets, landscapes and situations in which the characters evolve, like a mosaic inside the mind of the main character. … The whole film, perhaps in the same way as Fellini’s Eight and a Half, is situated halfway between the protagonist’s imagination and reality. » Emilio Ruiz dans lanuevaespagna.es
