TRIBUTES AND RETROSPECTIVES
Rodrigo Sorogoyen |
In the presence of Rodrigo Sorogoyen and Vicky Luengo |
In the space of only 6 years, Rodrigo Sorogoyen has made 4 features and a TV series, making him a key director in contemporary Spanish cinema. He was born in Madrid in 1981 and studied at the ECAM film school. He made his first film, 8 citas (8 Dates) (released in 2008), made up of sketches, at the age of 25 before working mainly in television. In 2013, his first feature, Stockholm, brought him acclaim in Spain, where he won the Best Director Award at the Malaga Film Festival. But this love story turned drama, shot in only 13 days with two actors, doesn’t give away the richness of Que Dios nos perdone (May God Save Us) (2016), his next film. This extremely dark psychological thriller, starring Antonio de la Torre and Roberto Álamo, catapulted him to the position of spearhead of Spanish crime films. El reino (The Realm), in 2018, confirmed him as the master of crime films, winning several awards at the Goyas, and Madre (Mother), in 2019, showed his skills in working on more intimate and risky themes. 2020 saw his 6-episode mini-series Antidisturbios (Riot Police), and in 2022 As bestas (The Beasts), which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival with an impressive Franco-Spanish cast (Denis Ménochet, Marina Foïs et Luis Zahera) became his biggest box-office success in France. |
