From the Malaga Spanish Film Festival I inform you of the awards that have been delivered. Although I have not yet seen all the films in competition, I must say that the winner, ‘Under the stars’by Félix Viscarret, is the one that I have considered to be the best of those that I have been able to see so far.
With a script that does not deviate from the conventional in any way, the film has an undramatic tone that distances it from other national productions that are always equal to each other, from which this festival has not been exempt. The interpretation of its protagonist, Alberto San Juan, contributes to this casual air, as well as the direction of Félix Viscarret, for which reason in both cases Biznagas seemed very deserved.

Not so the one that Elvira Mínguez has taken for a role that is not very empathetic and even less successful in ‘Pudor’, a film like so many others, with which the actor Tristán Ulloa has made his directorial debut together with his brother David.
Later I will expand these opinions on the films presented at the festival.
