The 21st edition of the Malaga Festival has begun with the projection of The laws of thermodynamics, the latest work of director Mateo Gil (Project Lazaro, Blackthorn). The Canarian filmmaker has fused fiction and reality in a comedy that also mixes the laws of physics with personal relationships and feelings. This hybrid has been defined by Gil himself as "a risky mix of genres and I hope that curious and interesting".
The film follows the story of four people who, when they hit the street, feel how the very laws of physics determine their lives - and their new relationships as a couple - forever. Thus, Vito Sanz and Berta Vázquez give life to Manel and Elena, a promising physicist and a budding actress whose romantic relationship will turn their world upside down as predicted by that science.
The actor of Shame has explained that the shooting of the tape was not easy at all. In addition to having to learn how each of these laws works, the interpreters had to face a "de-structured" script in which past and present varies. "I made an attempt to read a physics book, but it has not been useful at all.To understand physics for me is something very complex.As it was a destructured film, with a written montage like this, there were times when we got lost and the point of support was the director. "
However, the protagonist of Vis a Vis has explained during the same presentation that he had "debates and eternal conversations [with Mateo Gil] about whether love can be measured in laws or is the law of chaos" that determines it. These conversations and his previous film proposal came to the head of the filmmaker from "an accumulation of circumstances".
THE FREE WILL, INSIDE AND OUT OF THE RODAGE
In parallel, The laws of thermodynamics explains the love story of Pablo (Chino Darín) and Eva (Vicky Luengo), a relationship marked by the taste for "the free will" of the first and the hardness of the second at the time of living as a couple. A duo that did "damage in the neck" to Luengo, after recording an innumerable number of times the clash where both are known.
"I think it was a memorable shoot, we have made a very compact team, not only at the time of filming, but also through companionship, and, as Mateo Gil would say, we have lived several mythical sequences within this film as the pride sequence gay or that of the pigeon, sequences that we will always remember and, even, with the uncertainty of not knowing how it would be later ", explains the actor of the Queen of Spain.
On the other hand, the Cuban Juan Betancourt has affirmed that his first cinematographic experience could not have been better. "I had a great time on the set, I learned a lot from these four actors, we all had experiences and we all had a little bit of Pablo and a little bit of Manel, we all have a little bit of Lorenzo too, and I hope to continue doing some more things. and enjoy it a lot and have a great time. "
The five actors seated at the table of the press conference of the Malaga Festival have been praised by its director, who has ensured that they have been a great team and that there should always be full freedom to choose the casting of each project . "It is not usual to give you full freedom for 'casting' in a movie like this, we did a huge test with a lot of people, and this is the result, I think that attitude is quite commendable on the part of the producers."
