'El Pais Del Miedo' related to school violence with the crisis

• Seventh film screened in the Malaga fair
• The film is in a radiant theme after the event at Barcelona

Hours later bloody nightmare lived in an Institute of Barcelona, it is impossible that a film that reflects a problem so unfortunately omnipresent as the school violence is envisioned in a normal way.

If to receive on Monday at the Malaga Festival, the news of the murder of the teacher were not few people who recalled the attack on a teacher in the heroes of the evil, which entered in competition on Saturday, the start of the competition on the day of Tuesday has deployed a fatally timely coincidence. 'El pais del miedo ' delves into the Spain's fear and the crisis from a case of school violence. The debut of Francisco Espada portrays recent psychosis caused by the economic situation with a case of 'buyllying' as a trigger for the screenplay inspired by the novel by Isaac Rosa.

Nonetheless, and with the harassment to a minor in an Institute of Badajoz as starting point and essential resource for the development of the plot, the director of the film, Francisco Espada, preferred to qualify it as "a social thriller". "Barcelona has been a terrible news that gets in front of the present atremendous topic, but I would say that mine is not a film about bullying, but a social thriller about how fear conditioned our behavior within the society".

"Start with the case of bullying at school and it becomes a case of harassment of a child to an adult who requests money, is a metaphor on this consumer society, so designed to compete and become the first, and the frustrations that causes", added Espada to refer to the approach which has been the seventh feature film in the competition this year in the Malaga official section.

In 'El Pais Del Miedo', its predictable portrait of the Spain plunged into psychosis of the crisis is saved, somehow, by the action of José Luis García Pérez, absolute protagonist in the skin of a father who is emotionally destabilized to discover that your child is being harassed at the public Institute in which his wife embodied by Cristina Plazas, didn't register it.

Beset by a violent child, Garcia Perez roams defeated fear and lying in a tape - which also involved as Eduardo Velasco or Kiti Manver - that is riddled with allusions to the current Spain. Cuts in the education, the world of the civil service, the insecurity, August wanting to make private security companies, or labour exploitation covered by the scythe of the you are, among other issues.

The proposal of Portillo, versioned by Juan Mayorga, has its origin in the rejection of the actress to the idea, fostered over decades, of a Tenorio hero and "spooling" when it comes to a man's "deplorable" which claims to run over the reason, outwit justice and sell to women.

"Sums up everything, now and always, seems despicable," has asserted the actress and Director who, stressing has sought to tell the same story but from another perspective, has defended the care and respect with which both she and Mayorga have tried the text: it is does not detract, they have cut "less than anyone else" and kept the words "above all".

This "contemporary" Tenorio, with a very different aesthetic to the classic any viewer would expect a drama of the time, however a story "just terrible", making it necessary your choice of a performer, a man, far from the cliché of "macho" which turned out to be José Luis García-Pérez.

It was in a bar in Andalusia where Blanca Portillo and he (Jose Luis) confessed their mutual desire to deal with this work and to do so destroying any arche type of masculinity that, according to the actress, they are also responsible, to so me extent, women.

"I have the need for it and more in a moment like this", has recognized the actor, who has confessed to tackle this role with 'poetry, love and much truth' to, in this way, sharing with the public another point of view, purpose on which this Assembly of Portillo, who has scheduled ten premier functions from 6 November  to 16 in Valladolid.

"Actress and Director Blanca Portillo has unmasked to the Tenorio by JoséZorrilla and has stripped of its halo heroic and romantic for his "despicable" character in the mounting, co-produced by the national company of classical theatre (CNTC) and the teatro Calderón de Valladolid, premiering on November 6 in the stage from Valladolid."

"We recovered the sense of a character faced his own destiny, who decides to look in the mirror to be aware of the destruction left behind and acknowledges that he has done wrong and that real ghosts are in the consciousness and the dead who has mistreated destroyed and sold here. This is a much more romantic and, of course, more tragic", has been analyzed.

The gallant chosen for this occasion is the actor José Luis García Pérez, equally partisan show the character "as it is, not as we want it to mean" that Yes, without betraying the original story, "looking for the deep meaning of the text in the own words of Zorrilla".

"It is another point of view", it has riveted Portillo, who formulates a question open to make the spectator who put the nickname that you think you deserves the Tenorio: "Don't give answers but to leave open questions like me", it has an Apostille.

School and quarry, Blanca Portillo actress has included in the cast several selected novice actors in the schools of dramatic art of Seville - city where the work-develops Valladolid - birthplace of Zorrilla - and Madrid - birthplace of Portillo and where was formed in the scene.
