Luis Tosar: "What happens in the PP is not for a thriller, if anything for a comedy or something worse"

• San Sebastián Festival 'Maixabel' excites from its raw simplicity

Luis Tosar made his debut in a distant 1994 at

.

IMDB says so and there is no other choice but to believe it.

By then, almost three decades ago, he was already Luis Tosar.

With the same accent between an angry Galician and a Galician in love, a little more hair (not a lot more), the same cut on the ear and the intact ability to be practically everything.

Since then, it has now been applied with an excessive will to be exactly Luis Tosar.

There is no year with less than two starring films.

There is no year in which this actor from Lugo, with nine Goya nominations, has not dared to break his voice, break his face or literally dismember his soul.

After his role one step away from all the abysses in

, by his devoted Icíar Bollaín, kicks off the new season with two films.

The first, The Emperor Code, by Jorge Coira, is a thriller that opens the Malaga Festival today.

There is talk of politics, there is talk of the so-called Deep State and there is talk of the deep corruption of political parties.

The second,

, by Daniel Guzmán, is literally an unidentified projected artifact.

Impossible even to name a comedy that is also docudrama, excess, delirium and genius.

Have you been diagnosed with work addiction? Yes, yes, it is addiction.

It's not hard for me to admit it.

It is something that I tried so young and enjoyed it so much that it stayed there forever.

It's hard for me to define what I feel.

The feeling is so familiar and homely that a film set is my second home for me. Do you buy everything in your profession? There may be areas that I like less, but the moment when I have to start acting I recognize it as my place.

Also, it keeps me alive to investigate what I can and cannot do.

I used to suffer from paranoia about working too much, but now I've come to terms with it.

I like it and I have a hard time when I don't.

What's more, when I don't work I become a worse person, I don't like myself, I get bored, I have a worse mood... He talks about areas that he likes less.

How do you carry your role as a famous man with a license to comment on everything? Yes, that's what I meant.

All of this is worse for me.

For this reason, from time to time I try to furnish myself again and seriously consider who I am, who the Tosar actor is... And think and be clear about what part of all this is a show and, therefore, it has to be dramatized a bit, and what part it is my real self, my thought and my ideology.

And then I try to be careful, maybe not as much as I should.

In any case, I would be happier if I didn't have to expose myself so much and talk so much.

Inevitably, you end up talking more about yourself than you should.

I assume that is what it is. But it seems that he likes the mambo.

He chooses projects that make him talk.

is a chronicle of current affairs with a kind of Villarejo inside...When we started shooting it we didn't know what was going to happen in the Popular Party.

Suddenly, the present has become a perfect publicity for the movie.

But well, the cinema always talks about what happens and our political reality is what inspired Jorge Coira and the screenwriter Jorge Guerricaechevarría.

What I can assure you is that Casado's espionage on Ayuso was not paid by the production company to promote the film.

The actor Luis Tosar.

That thing about reality surpassing... Well, reality has been very bizarre.

We have tried to be somewhat less seedy.

What has happened in the PP does not give for a thriller, if anything for a comedy or something worse.

What screenwriter is going to put a fake priest in a more or less decent script, another breaking hard drives with a hammer, another who spies and doesn't spy on his partner at the same time... At the very least, surreal. Be that as it may , what the film comes to say is that the Deep State is both the one who maintains the system and ruins the possibility of true democracy.

Do you agree? No matter how hard we try, it will surely be like that and will continue to be.

As utopian as we are and as much as we wish things were different, there is something that is inherent in our species... and it is not good.

The human being always tries to be ahead of the other and always wants to have a little more information to try to win the game.

And we are seeing it with fatal consequences these days in Ukraine. Is the current war comparable to the internal struggles that the film raises within our democracy? At another, smaller level, the mechanism is the same.

Political parties, for example, function as living organisms with their own self-defense system.

Power preserves itself, protects itself.

And that can lead, as it has, to Vladimir Putin's war.

sees the possibility of getting out of this pernicious mechanism thanks to the power of control and supervision of the media... Yes, but investigative journalism is having more and more problems to survive.

The paradox is that digitization makes everything accessible, but at the same time it does not discriminate between what is true and what is false.

If the precariousness of the media is added to this, the control of power is increasingly difficult.

He is losing the battle and the machinery is winning. He talks about the crisis of journalism and the controversy in which he was involved for his distorted statements about ETA on behalf of

[It was published that he had said that if he had been born in Euskadi he could have ended up in ETA, when in fact he said that the environment influences, but "the intention is in you"].

Did you learn something from "the new forms" of journalism? I learned that it can touch you at any time.

But in all misfortunes there is always a small diamond that one can extract and, the truth is that there were many journalists who made an effort to make what I said clear.

And that makes me happy.

That joy of seeing you defended judiciously, not just emotionally or ideologically, made up for the misunderstanding.

It was simply a bastard. You mentioned the war. Do you think, as some accuse, that your union has been less involved in opposing this war than the one in Iraq? There is a notable difference.

In that war they put us with lies.

It was based on the lie of weapons of mass destruction that did not exist.

This war, instead, is Putin's war.

So, there was an important social movement of people who just didn't want to be in a war that no one had called us to.

They put us on the bad side.

Now we are on the other side, now we are the ones attacked.

But the sentiment of the No to war is the same.

And about the accusations? Now there is the same activity against it as there was then.

What happens is that there are many who are deeply disturbed by what happened and what they did.

Well, I can't spend my whole life paying attention to those who got bitter because we took the colors out of them.

If you have that guilt, if you acted as you did knowing what was there, then you have to live with it.

It's your fault, manage it yourself.

after having starred with Javier Bardem

R. At some point I came to talk about it with Javier... but there was no room.

The film is wonderful and not being in it allowed me to enjoy it much more.
