…Luis Zahera. Little else can be added to the more than justified praise (and awards) that the Galician interpreter has collected since the premiere of ‘As bestas’. Yours is simply one of the most impressive, overwhelming, memorable and shocking works in the history of recent Spanish cinema. The Goya is yours. And doubt offends.

Any situation whereand Ramón Barea having the chance to win a prize is already a reason for happiness and justice. An actor who is always grateful to be on the screen, a great talent capable of elevating any story to which his presence contributes, Barea joins these Goyas thanks to ‘Cinco little wolves’, a beautiful film by Alauda Ruiz de Azúa where he gives us another fantastic performance to add to his dazzling catalogue. His chances of winning are practically nil because all roads lead to Zahera, but it is a great joy to see him again among the nominees.

Although many people were surprised when his appointment was announced, the truth is that Fernando Tejero’s work in the remarkable “Modelo 77” deserves to be highlighted. Secondary to the textbook in terms of his screen time and lead role in the story, the Andalusian actor’s character is one of those interpretive gifts that, when used, shines with a special light. And this is one of those examples. Beyond the controversies and empty debates, Tejero’s talent remains.

Jesús Carroza is one of those actors who are always good. Regardless of the role, the weight it has in the story, the genre in which the film takes place or the level of demand it entails, the Sevillian interpreter will be up to the task from the first minute to the last. Of course, the “Model 77” is no exception. Indeed, we could be facing one of the most complete and exciting works of the actor thanks to one of those characters that mark in a special way to the public despite not having much screen time. However, every minute of Carroza in Alberto Rodríguez’s film is simply a gift. More than deserved nomination.

In a category so accustomed to surprises, Marie Colomb’s chances of winning the Goya for Best Supporting Actress shouldn’t be diminished thanks to her outstanding work in “As bestas.” Hers is a character who grows in the final stretch of the film in a way that is as natural and organic as it is devastating on an emotional level. And that merit, in addition to the extraordinary screenplay, lies in the talent of an interpreter who knows how to make the most of each of her scenes.

The Machi. Big words. If one more proof that she is an off-road actress was missing, well, ‘Cerdita’ dispelled any (incomprehensible) doubts. And it is that, in fact, in the thriller and terror of the fantastic film by Carlota Pereda It also highlights the immense talent of one of the best actresses of our country.. One of those presences that justify the price of a ticket. Yet another recital by Carmen Machi. And they go…

The thing about Susi Sánchez in “Cinco lobitos” is a real outrage. Delicacy, charisma, presence, sensitivity, tenderness, pain, outburst, containment… a masterful acting lesson served on an inspiring plate by an actress beyond all praise. A priori, we are facing the big favorite to take home the Goya. And the truth is, I wouldn’t admit to any kind of discussion.

Penélope Cruz abandons any kind of star aura and throws herself into the mud with an excellent performance in ‘En los márgenes’, the directorial debut of a Juan Diego Botto who finds in her the accomplice of dreams. And it is that, although in a cross-story proposal it is always more difficult to shine above the rest because of what she has as a particularly isolated exercise, Cruz’s work is indisputable by both deafening silence and hushed scream. An interpretation at its height, i.e. the exact size of a giant.

Each of the scenes that Ángela Cervantes and Carla Quílez share on screen in the magnificent ‘La maternal’ deserves to be highlighted as part of the best moments that the unforgettable 2022 of Spanish cinema has given us. Having said this, and dwelling on the first of them, We are faced with an interpretation that releases the coveted scent of truth, completely distancing itself from any kind of tear-jerking artifice or melodramatic excess.. Cervantes, who had already won us over in ‘Chavalas’, confirms that we are dealing with an actress with a great present and future.
