Rock Drama . Directed by Isaki Lacuesta, Pol Rodríguez
An emotional film told with mystery and risk.
Masterpiece, monumental cinema.
Brilliant.
The long-awaited Saturn Return has been a success after its premiere at the Malaga Film Festival. The film has won the Golden Biznaga for Best Film, as well as the awards for Best Director and Best Editing. Two-time San Sebastián Festival winner Isaki Lacuesta portrays in this film how complex it can be to create a timeless work. A disruptive film, with beautiful almost dreamlike photography, mold-breaking editing, and the magnificent performances of some new actors that will give us something to talk about. All at the service of a story full of passion and with an unrepeatable soundtrack that has behind it the screenwriter of VERONICA and BELOW ZERO.
A rock band has to record their third LP, which will either propel them to stardom or fade into oblivion. Despite executives’ reservations, their idea is to have the recording take place in New York. But everything complicates, and the creative process turns into a hellish ordeal. A love triangle with all its consequences unfolds, band members desert, romantic relationships shatter, rehearsals become rampant with drugs and alcohol, and the unbearable pressure from the record label leads to endless fights and arguments only interrupted by fleeting moments of happiness. Meanwhile, unknowingly, they will be composing an album that will leave a mark on an entire generation.
