Any film that has Rodrigo Sorogoyen as its director or Javier Bardem as its protagonist has many ballots to be one of the films of the year. If these two parameters are combined, the result is guaranteed success. «The Loved One» arrives in cinemas after having dazzled at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival and having been in the shortlist to win the Palme d’Or. Zaragoza will be the first city in which the film can be seen, two days before its official premiere.
August 26 is marked as the date on which «The Loved One» will arrive in theaters throughout the country. However, the Palafox Cinemas in the Aragonese capital have been ahead of the rest and have scheduled a special screening for August 24 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are already on sale on the website and at the Palafox Cinemas box office.
In addition to this session ahead of the official premiere, which will allow you to see one of the most anticipated films of the year in Zaragoza first, Cines Palafox has also scheduled a special screening of the film that will include a colloquium. It will take place next Wednesday, September 2 at 5:00 p.m. in room 4. Tickets for this session are also available on the website and at the box office at a price of 12.90 euros.
A FILM WITH AN ARAGONESE STAMP
«The Loved One» is headed by the Rodrigo Sorogoyen-Isabel Peña tandem, one of the most prolific duos in Spanish cinema. The Zaragoza native is the figure that the well-known director trusts the most by far for the elaboration of the skeleton of his films. Together they have co-written seven scripts and all have managed to succeed in cinemas. It seems that his eighth work hand in hand is going to exceed all expectations.
In «The Loved One», Esteban Martínez is a prestigious film director with a past marked by violence and excesses. For his new film he offers a role to his daughter Emilia, an actress whose career is stagnant and with whom he has been estranged for years. The filming brings them closer together, but living together also reopens family wounds and issues from the past that neither of them has managed to resolve.
