‘Saturn Return’ Filmmakers On Why Spain’s Oscar Entry About Indie Rockers Los Planetas Is Not A Biopic – Contenders International


Saturn Return director Isaki Lacuesta said his movie about Spanish indie rock band Los Planetas "is not a classical biopic."

Spain’s International Feature Oscar entry Saturn Return centers on real-life Granada indie rock group Los Planetas. Los Planetas is strongly identified with Granada, which producer Cristóbal García called “a very social and cultural city for all of us.” But at the same time, Granada “has a cultural heritage that comes from 1,000 years ago and there is a tradition of poetry … and of course the Flamenco music; all these precedents are very important to the creation of Los Planetas and for our films.”
