Gonzalo Suárez (Oviedo, 85 years), a filmmaker unique, unparalleled in Spain, received the Gold Medal of Egeda last night, thanks to his singular filmography. After remembering his brother, the late director of photography-Carlos Suarez spoke to the producers. “I thought that perhaps were not going to agree on me, but I’ve always remembered them,” he explained between laughs and jokes. “I respect very much the producers, a profession very difficult at times, because there was no more remedy,” he said more seriously, and thanked Enrique Cerezo -“the owner of my films”- their conservation work in Spanish cinema. And finished his speech with a “finishes the preambles, since I don’t have more to say, except to return to give thanks”.
Suarez, who last February launched its animation film The dream of Malinche, it is in these moments by moving one of the five scripts that he wrote together with Sam Peckinpah. In its origin Transaction Double-Two was inspired by the real threat of an attack against Franco and Eisenhower. “It hurt not to film life Peckinpah,” says the director of Dithyramb, Paddling in the wind, My name is shadow, or The detective and death. The script has changed, you have a producer, but it is not clear that it is going to lead the same to Suarez.
