• Donostia Marion Cotillard Award: "Women have the obligation to question the heteropatriarchal system that we live in"

  • Venice Film Festival Penelope Cruz becomes a myth as best actress and 'The event' wins a just Golden Lion

  • Venice Film Festival 'Official Competition' or the 'fraud' of cinema in front of the brightest of mirrors

The effect of bringing two press conferences together, one after the other, not one on top of the next, can be disconcerting. Or just unpredictable. The same question to

Marion Cotillard,

Donostia Prize, and to

Penélope Cruz

, the brand new Volpi Cup at the recent Venice edition (and also Donostia Prize last year), can result in a fold in the space-time continuum that will definitely destroy forever.

any possibility of connection between France and Spain.

Asked about culture and her country, Marion Cotillard did not take a second to raise the tricolor flag convinced that in France cinema is part of the DNA and that the State, regardless of who is in charge, is there to support her people. When the same question fell on this side of the Pyrenees, wrinkles began to appear in the gestures. In Spain, Penelope Cruz commented,

"the recognition of actors and culture goes by waves

.

"

And he pointed out about respecting the paths of the gardens: "In the street I receive a lot of affection and respect and that is always the case. It is as if people knew you and I knew them. But later ...", and in the ellipsis left the pout that preceded a new point:

"Sometimes it is forgotten that there are many families that live from this profession

and it is forgotten that this profession is not only made up of the three or four privileged ones like me. What happens to me is not normal. I constantly remind myself of it.

And that also has to be taken into account because it is a profession that needs support ".

Antonio Banderas at his side was even more blunt:

"We actors often feel used.

I will only say that in the last electoral campaign in Spain, not a single politician ever spoke about culture or cinema or anything else".

The Argentine (not Spanish) Óscar Martínez was missing and, in effect, he spoke: "France is not comparable to anything. I remember I was in Paris when Yves Montand died and the expressions of affection that I saw in the street were not comparable to nothing. France respects its emblems. "

It was unclear whether Martinez was trying to remember Marion or just to ease the Spanish itch.

Or both things.

And so.

I said, two press conferences one after the other can go boom!

To situate ourselves, what Penelope Cruz, Antonio Banderas and Óscar Martínez, seconded via zoom by the directors Gastón Duprat and Mariano Cohn, presented was the film

'Official Competition'

released just in Venice.

As in the Lido, Penelope Cruz completed her particular 'Grand Slam' of cinematography for her impeccable and enormous work in 'Parallel Mothers', by Pedro Almodóvar, everything came together.
