Federico J. Arioni’s Nobody is Crazy takes us on a philosophical journey through the intricacies of time and existence in his examination of one teenager’s crisis of identity. At the film’s center is Rafael, a troubled youth struggling with Ocd who encounters the enigmatic Nobody, played with aplomb by writer/director Arioni himself.
Claiming to hail from parts temporal unknown, Nobody takes Rafael on a discursive adventure through the theoretical possibilities, and improbabilities, of chrononautical endeavors. More profoundly, their discussions explore what it means to truly inhabit the present moment and accept oneself.
Backed by a strong central performance from Manuel Gutierrez as Rafael, Arioni has crafted no mere time-travel yarn but a thoughtful meditation on perspective and living authentically within the flow of time.

Above: Spanish poster by José María Cruz Novillo for The Garden of Delights.When the great Spanish filmmaker Carlos Saura died in February at the age of 90, I searched through his posters to find a suitable piece to post as a tribute and came across several very stylized, diagrammatic designs for his early ’70s films. They turned out to be the work of José María Cruz Novillo, an artist I surprisingly hadn't been aware of previously, but who, I have since found out, is a titan of Spanish graphic design.Above: José María Cruz Novillo (right) with his son Pepe in front of a wall of his film posters. Photo: Fernando Sánchez.Cruz Novillo, who is still working at the age of 86 (in partnership with his architect son Pepe), could rightfully be called the Saul Bass of Spain. Like Bass, he excels in both film marketing and logo design. Since...

Spanish auteur Carlos Saura died on Friday of natural causes, the Film Academy of Spain confirmed. He was 91.
In a statement, the org stated: “The Film Academy deeply regrets to announce the death of Carlos Saura, Goya de Honor 2023. Saura, one of the fundamental filmmakers in the history of Spanish cinema, died today at his home at the age of 91, surrounded by his loved ones.”
Born in 1932 in Huesca, Aragon – the same part of Spain as Luis Buñuel, whom he recognised as his mentor – Saura was taken by his family to Madrid during its Civil War. As a child, Saura he listened with horror to its bombings, the trauma of its violence never leaving him, inspiring his third feature, 1965’s “The Hunt,” a portrait of a Franquist ruling class which won him a Berlin Silver Bear.
This crowned him as the leading light of a New Spanish Cinema, an attempt...

Pilar Palomero’s “Schoolgirls” (“Las Niñas”), a coming-of-age story and generational portrait of Spanish women who would now be in their 40s, swept an extraordinary and admirable 35th edition of Spain’s Goya Awards on Saturday, scooping best picture, new director, original screenplay and cinematography.
Salvador Calvo won best director for the three-part, Africa-set drama “Adú,” a Netflix pick-up produced by Telecinco Cinema, Ikiru Films and La Terraza Films that proved one of Spain’s biggest box office hits of last year, earning €6.3 million ($7.6 million) at the Spanish box office, promoted to the hilt by Telecinco Cinema parent Mediaset España.
Marking a milestone in his transition from Spanish heartthrob to character actor, Mario Casas won best actor for “No Matarás.” Patricia López Arnaíz took best actress for her role in “Ane is Missing,” a confident mother-daughter relationship drama-thriller melding psychological observation and social critique, set against the background of high-speed train construction in a 2009 Bilbao.

The following article contains minor spoilers for “Blade Runner 2049.”
In addition to a pair of memorable performances from Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford, cinematographer Roger Deakins’ stunning visual work, and director Denis Villeneuve’s dystopian vision, “Blade Runner 2049” has one more element worthy of excitement: a supporting cast of new and rising stars. Many of them have already made their mark on indie cinema, like the perpetually working David Dastmalchian or the irreverent Carla Juri, while others will likely use Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic as a springboard for even bigger careers (like Ana de Armas, the film’s biggest find).

We blinked and Ana de Armas is in four huge movies this year. The Cuban actress is making her mark in Hollywood, but she's not new at this acting thing. This just might be Ana's year; she's starring in Exposed, Hands of Stone, War Dogs, and Overdrive. We have a feeling that this 28-year-old star is just getting started. Here's what we know so far about this star: 1. She's No Rookie: We can say that Ana's been acting her entire life. At the age of 16, she made her first film, Una Rosa de Francia, directed by Manuel Gutiérrez Aragón. 2. The Art of Acting: The star attended the National Theatre...

Eva Longoria was a beautiful bridesmaid at her friend Alina Peralta and Manuel Gutierrez's nuptials in Cordoba, Spain. The 40-year-old Desperate Housewives alum was seen running barefoot on the street on Friday in her gorgeous strapless soft blue tulle gown, which had a gathered, sweetheart neckline and empire waist, adorned with a thin, sparkling belt. Longoria also posted photos of herself and her fellow bridesmaids at the wedding that day. The group was joined by Amaury Nolasco, Longoria's co-star in the new NBC...

The death of Elias Querejeta, “producer of producers” according to the leading lights of Spanish cinema, did not cause a Gandolfini-size wake in the world of film. But film lovers should note the accomplishments of a man who, as much as anyone, moved his country’s cinema into a post-Franco landscape –a state-of-the-cinema where the likes of Pedro Almodovar are even imaginable. A pivotal figure in the movement that would eventually become known as the New Spanish Cinema, Querejeta produced the essential films of Carlos Saura and Victor Erice (including Erice’s beloved masterpiece, “The Spirit of the Beehive,” a “Pan’s Labyrinth” without monsters), and worked with Manuel Gutierrez Aragon, Ricardo Franco, Eloy de la Iglesia, and many other of his nation’s most challenging films and filmmakers. While filmmakers still had to be cautious in the waning days of Francisco Franco (still dead), what was important about Querejeta...
