Aunts, uncles, cousins, sisters, brothers, wedges, yernos, nueras, and grandmothers, and also, without a doubt, some other one I've forgotten, we've seen them all pass through the screen for a week, and by the time of the desserts, there would be not enough cake for everyone. The family is always unfair. Also the Film Festival: He has pampered the cosmos Adikos and the terreros The double steps and others, little or no less.
What is the family but tautology? The family is the family and the family is the family. How are you going to allow the Greek cousin to come home with empty hands, knowing how things are, that he hardly even paid for the plane? Take, look, the award for the best director and the best actor and don't tell me no, huh!
The spoiled child of this festival has been, however, Isaki Lacuesta: The double steps, which did not offer much beyond the experiment, have swallowed the largest shell and will return home burdening five kilos. More than by mime, María León’s awards – if she has not been the best actress in the Official Section, she has been among the best, without sinduds, the naive Andalusian maid who has played in La voz dormida – and those who have led to Kiseki and Le Skylab. But they're small prizes compared to others.
As from now on only the movies remain, I would recommend to any spectator the latter, Le Skylab: Julie Delpy has made one of the best films we have seen in the Official Section, with the excuse of a family meal, portraying a whole time, and since it has not led to any more trophy, at least the familiar touch we have given to this article has been worth it.
Edurne Azkarate said from the micro stage that the Basque film has little Basque in the celebration of the San Sebastian Film Festival. The phrase echoes for its truthfulness. In the architecture scene you can repeat the same motto and I am sure that in so many other cultural... [+]

The ninth and final day, at a special festival that will remember me with great affection. Leaving two films risky for the last day, I'm writing this first chronicle with the music of a bar, because I didn't like the movie I saw before.

I never cry with movies. I've seen hard films, sad stories, full of death, showing the worst of the human being, without asking for forgiveness. I've seen beautiful, elegant, monumental movies that talk about miracles, deep. And yet, I don't cry with movies. Those of us who... [+]

When I made the Festival calendar, the first film I chose was Parthenope. Not knowing what it was, before I read the synopsis, I knew I had to see it, because it was from director Paolo Sorrentino. My roommate and roommate always tells me that I’m an “excited” with that... [+]

New old ones? No. And I'm not... [+]

There is sometimes a feeling that everything is tied. It will be possible to see everything, even in the Official Section, always under a framework. We have seen some touches of humor, weeping dramas, suspenses, documentaries, even a horror film – which we will analyze at the... [+]
On June 28 of this year, Casa in Flames (Etxea Sutan), a dramatic comedy directed by Dani de la Orden, premiered. I told him I thought I would see him a month before the festival, when I was talking to a friend, and he recommended it to me. Although we do not always agree, the... [+]
