What I'm not going to learn is the language of some guys who impose upon me to tell the stories that they want. This is my market, this is my country. I want to tell what happens here and in my language. Banderas has left his homeland's market behind just as definitively by speaking English. The obstacle, in one word, is distribution.
Every year there are more successes than before.
Serious from the industrial point of view, because artistically and creatively it's a horror. To see what they're doing with what they have is really scandalous. Spain, with maybe an eighth of the money the United States film industry posses, is really trying. But without distributors, international success stories are simply impossible. Another factor that sways distributors are the films nominated for the Academy Award for best foreign film.
