Criticism 'Titane', a phenomenon has been born in Cannes ... and it gives cramp
Sentimental criticism: the elegance of sex that speaks to us
Spanish cinema disappears. And it is not so much a diagnosis (not even a suggestion) as a fact. At least, when it comes to its place in European cinema. On Tuesday, the Seville Festival hosted the now traditional reading of candidates for the EFA European Film Awards and, with the heavy names of the Hispanic post-pandemic year discarded by late release dates
(neither Almodóvar nor León de Aranoa nor Icíar Bollaín, for example , appeared on the eligible list)
, the most ominous omens were fulfilled. It was logical if one also takes into account that if the 2021 that is ending has stood out for something, it is because of the quality of the premieres throughout Europe.
Thus, only '
Sentimental
', by Cesc Gay,
opts for best comedy against the Norwegian '
Ninjababy
', by Ynvild Sve Flikke, and
'Belle fille',
the French hit signed by Méliane Marcaggi. The rest, whatever category you look at, the desert.
For the rest, '
Titane
', by
Julia Ducournau
, seems determined to become one of the films of the year after winning the Palme d'Or at Cannes. His are the nominations for best film, direction, actress
(Agathe Rousselle)
and actor
( Vincent Lindon).
In other words, only the script is left out of its monopolizing desire in a production that reflects in a cruel and very brutal way on the accidents of identity and that stands out for its hunger for provocation.
At his side, with the same number of options, but with considerably less noise around him, are the English
'
The father
',
by
Florian Zeller
; the Bosnian
'Quo vadis, Aida?'
, by
Jasmila Zbanic
, and the Finnish '
Compartment Nº 6
', by
Juho Kuosmanen
. With one less nomination there would be
'It was the hand of God',
the Netflix production of the Neapolitan
Paolo Sorrentino
. One of them will undoubtedly be the European film of the year.
The candidates thus fulfill the script marked by the most important festivals of the year. The very radical Golden Bear from Berlin,
'An Unfortunate Fuck or Crazy Porn',
by Romanian
Radu Jude
, appears in the category of filmmakers with options. The actress
Renate Reinsve
, from '
The worst person in the world'
, by the Norwegian
Joaquim Trier,
points out winning manners in her category.
Franz Rogowski,
for his work in the Austrian '
Great Freedom
', by
Sebastian Meise
, seems the only one capable of threatening the more than probable triumph of
Anthony Hopkins
for his'
Oscar-winning
'work in'
The father'.
And so.
The absence of '
The Event' is
surprising
,
Audrey Diwan's
French film
winner with all the merits in Venice, but the rest follows the pattern and the script of what is cooked in the contests.
And, at the moment, not a trace of a single one of the Spanish films.
