The South The Arcadia by Víctor Erice
Victor Erice is back.
The great filmmaker after 30 years of cinematographic silence will return to shoot a film entitled
Close your eyes
.
Undoubtedly a great joy for all moviegoers in the world since despite the fact that his filmography is not extensive, his prestige has only grown over the years.
This news has been revealed thanks to the aid that the project will receive from Canal Sur.
Information that has been confirmed in various media by the production company Pecado Films, which participates in the future film together with Tandem and Nautilus, Erice's production company.
The protagonists of
Close your eyes
could be
José Coronado and María León
and its premiere is scheduled for next year.
With this film, the Basque director would get even for his frustrated experience in
El embrujo de Sanghai
, a project he worked on for years but never saw the light of day.
His disagreements with producer Andrés Vicente Gómez meant that the film based on the novel by Juan Marsé was finally directed by Fernando Trueba.
The author of
The Spirit of the Beehive
and
El Sur,
two capital films in the history of Spanish cinema
,
had not directed more feature films since
El sol del membrillo
(1992), a jury award and the international critics' FIPRESTI at the
Cannes Film Festival
, although he never ceased to be linked to the world of cinema.
During these three decades he shot his correspondence with the Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami, the video installation
Piedra y Cielo
that opened at the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum, as well as works in collective works with filmmakers such as
Wim Wenders, Manuel de Oliveira or Werner Herzog.
