Argentina’s Diego Lerman Reaches for the Skies in ‘The Man Who Loved UFOs,’ Vies for the Golden Shell at San Sebastian (EXCLUSIVE)


Argentina’s Diego Lerman returns to the San Sebastian Film Festival with his seventh and most ambitious film, ‘The Man Who Loved UFOs.’

Leonardo Sbaraglia (“Wild Tales,” “Pain and Glory”) plays De Zer who Lerman always had in mind for the role while writing the screenplay alongside Adrian Biniez (“Giant”). The streaming platform came to the rescue just as the new policies under Argentina’s new president Javier Milei had been devastating the local film industry, hobbling what used to be a vital lifeline, the country’s national film-TV institute, INCAA.
