Official Competition

"A great satire about actors and movie directors with excellent performances by Penélope Cruz, Antonio Banderas and Oscar Martínez. 'Competencia Oficial' tells the comical events of an entrepreneur who hires a filmmaker to help him make a successful movie. The production approaches in a way how actors prepare for a feature film, which is intriguing and serves as a starting point to create a hostile environment between the characters. It's a good movie that not only serves as a distraction, but also takes us a bit deeper into the process that leads to production. 'Competencia Oficial' was screened at the 2021 Venice Film Festival and entered the competition for the Golden Lion."
