San Sebastian Festival Competition: New Mike Leigh, Edward Berger and Gia Coppola Films and Joshua Oppenheimer’s ‘The End’ With Tilda Swinton
San Sebastian lineup includes new films from Mike Leigh, Edward Berger and Gio Coppola and Joshua Oppenheimer’s ‘The End’ with Tilda Swinton.
“Conclave,” from “All Quiet on the Western Front director Edward Berger,” is a psychological thriller written by Peter Straughan, based on the 2016 novel of the same name by Robert Harris and starring Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci and John Lithgow. Written by Bollaín and Isa Campo (“Between Two Waters”), co-scribes on Bollain’s 2021’s breakout “Maixabel,” a film inspired by a landmark sexual harassment case in Spain, taking place way back in 2001, weaving a narrative of power, gender discrimination, and the courage to stand alone. Lead produced by on-the-rise Madrid production house Caballo Films (“The Beasts,” “La ruta”), a smart chiller about a presence which preys on young women and the feature debut of Martín Calero, whose work to date includes Weeknd pop video “Secrets,” commercials – the vertigo-inducing Honda Civic –Up spot, for instance – or fiction vignettes, such as “Julius Cesar.”
