The actress from Madrid stars in 'The killer of whims', a sinister thriller about a criminal who kills his victims inspired by works by Goya
She is one of the best known and most beloved figures in our country, always involved in several projects (now, for example, she has a poster, until the end of the year, the Invincible work at the Cofidis Alcázar Theater), with an extraordinary ability to get involved. , in many occasions, in the skin of characters to the limit. But, far from believing that everything is done, Maribel Verdú (Madrid, 1970) acknowledges feeling grateful for each project in which he participates, in which he always tries to have fun and enjoy during filming.
In El killer de los caprichos , by Gerardo Herrero, a series of deaths in the wealthy Madrid neighborhood of Salamanca have put law enforcement officers on alert. The finite, all of them high class people with a recognized passion for art, are murdered in a very unique way. In addition to ending their lives, the murderer has been careful to recreate in great detail some of the works that make up the series Los caprichos de Francisco de Goya.
Given these unusual facts, Carmen Cobos (Maribel Verdú), an inspector who does not go through her best moment, must take charge of an investigation in which she will end up being involved more than necessary and that will lead her to contact some characters that seem to hide something . Among others, Eduardo (Ginés García Millán), a restaurateur visited by many buyers of works of art; the very president of the Community of Madrid (Ruth Gabriel) or some people who, like the finite ones, feel an incredible attraction for the works of Goya and are seen by high level auctions. Next to her, Inspector Cobos will have Eva González (Aura Garrido), a sub-inspector with a personality diametrically different from her own, or Commissioner Vargas (Roberto Álamo), who will put her agents on alert.
Although nothing can be told not to ruin the final surprise, did you guess who the murderer was when he read the script? Of course I had no idea who the killer was! (laughs) Here it happens as in all thrillers, where they always give you clues about someone who seems to be responsible for the murders ... and then is not. I find it hilarious to play to believe who it can be. Normally it is not what one thinks. What do you think of the good reception that the film obtained at the Sitges Film Festival? Very good. Above all, considering that the public that goes to that event knows a lot about this type of cinema. I stayed to see her during the screening and I will tell you that there was a huge silence. And that, as soon as we went out to present it, I saw how people began to applaud. Something that does not usually happen much ... The film is a thriller starring two policemen who are played by two women. Do not you think that this detail should not attract so much attention at this point? The sad thing is that we have to underline it ... As you say, almost every time we see a story of this type has two men protagonists. Or, at most, a man and a woman. But almost never two women. The day that is naturalized and does not have to underline something we will have won. Still nothing. How did you work on getting into the skin of a police inspector with such a rough character? For this I talked a lot with a woman who worked for years as an inspector and who, over time, wanted to be in the street and is now the head of a group of riot police. She is a sweet, lovely aunt and, above all, she is a woman. And he is also a policeman. Suddenly, before older people, such a woman is usually not well seen. I don't mean her, but in similar cases many think that "the girl has arrived and is sending." But they are there for something. Surprising that you still have to be justifying things like that. Therefore, many are forced to have a rude and strong character while being in a world of men. Regarding my character, Inspector Cobos is a bitter woman, with a very fucked up and alcoholic past. So having that character is not something that costs you a lot.According to the criteria of
