There is an actor with a thousand faces who deceives no one and deceives everyone, someone who knows how to get into the skin of a legionnaire, a lifeguard, or an evil patient. A man who can be a loser, a scoundrel, a thief, a spy, and a liar… There is an actor whom everyone loves and hates, and who before smashing it on stage, television, film, and on the carpet red spent a few hours in the streets of Barcelona.
In Carne Cruda we interviewed Eduard Fernandez, we tour their four decades of career in film, theater and television and we talk especially about this crucial year, marked by “El 47” and “MARCO”, two films crossed by memory and the fight for dignity. The first an unexpected box office success; the second, the long-awaited premiere of the story of the Spaniard who posed as a Holocaust survivor
“Frame” is the latest film by Jon Garaño and Aitor Arregi that premieres on November 8 in which they recover the story of the former Secretary General of the CNT in the late 70s and President of the association of former deportees from Mauthausen Amical in Spain, a admired figure thanks to a lie: because contrary to what he defended for 30 years, he had never been a prisoner in the Flossenbürg camp, but rather had accepted an agreement signed between Hitler and Franco to work in the German arms industry. A character we also talked about with Benito Bermejoa history teacher and researcher, a true walking encyclopedia on the Spanish deportees to Nazi concentration camps and played by actor Chani Martín in the film; author, together with Sandra Checa, of “Memorial book. Spaniards deported to Nazi camps.
And from one masterful performance to another: that of the story of “El 47” in which the actor plays Manolo Vital, an Extremaduran who emigrated to Catalonia in the 70s, like so many other Extremadurans, Andalusians, and Castilians, fleeing of misery and who built the cities we know today with their own hands. A character who fought to dignify his neighborhood and who hijacked a bus to put Torré Baró on the map. The film that is still in theaters has coincided with the appearance of the remains of the protagonist’s father, Diego Vital, in a mass grave covered in lime and rubble in Valencia de Alcantára. A discovery that has helped heal wounds of a family marked by exile and memory and that we have with the granddaughter of Manolo Vital, Joana Vital.
