Eduard Fernández and the unexpected nomination
The Spanish film community is waiting for the verdict of the Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences, which could be recognized by the masterful interpretation of Eduard Fernández with a Goya for best actor protagonist for his performance in ‘Marco’.
An intrigant narrative and controversial
The film, directed by Aitor Argi and Jon Garaño, immerses us in the life of Enric Marco, an individual who maintained a fiction for decades, claiming to have been the victim of a Nazi concentration camp. This story challenges the notions of truth and lie, exploring the depths of identity and memory.
Reflections on truth and lies
With a narrative that transcends cinema, ‘Marco’ invites us to reflect on the nature of lies in today’s society. Not only does it show that falsehoods have always existed, but it reminds us of the importance of critical thinking against misinformation, a life skill in a saturated world of digital media.
Commemoration of the eighth birthday
In addition, the film coincides with the commemorative acts of the eighty years of the release of the Nazi camps, a time to remember the more than ten million victims and emphasize the importance of preserving historical memory as a tool against the far right that reappears strongly.
The power of memory and critical thinking
The key to a fairer and more informative future lies in the combination of historical memory and a critical spirit, essential for dismantling narratives that seek to rewrite the story for ideological purposes. ‘Marco’ is not only a movie, but also a call for action for a more conscious society.
