Gonzalo Suárez receives the Goya of Honor: “Cinema has survived social networks and caves”
Gonzalo Suárez has acquired the Goya of Honor from María de Medeiros, with whom he filmed The detective and loss of life. The actor threatened to go away earlier than dedicating the award to Hélène Girard, his spouse. “I consider it a birthday gift. And the fact that it is here, in Barcelona, where I started making films and had my four children, makes it special,” he mentioned, earlier than referring to authoritarianism on the earth.
“That there is a man who plays golf with the world, who wants to put it in the darkest hole, that man, whose name I don’t want to remember, compels me to tell a story,” he mentioned. And he has instructed it: “A driver takes pity on a homeless man he finds on the road. When he gets into the smelly car, he sends him to the upholstery. The driver regrets it but God takes pity on him and turns him into a princess. Together they spend a night of love. The next day, he wakes up again in the arms of the smelly homeless man. With this it becomes clear to him that God rewards us with dreams and punishes us with reality. Cinema is the last thing with which “We can daydream. And it takes me again to the primary bison that our ancestors painted within the caves. Cinema has survived social networks and caves, however in fact, right now, the bison is me.”
