Promotion of Spanish film ‘Leones en invierno’

Overview

The release of the Spanish thriller ‘Leones en invierno’, directed by Albert Pintó, has been marked by promotional activities and actor commentary.

Initial reports highlighted the film’s themes of vengeance and organized crime, noting its production took place in Madrid and the Canary Islands. Actor Antonio Pagudo also visited the Bierzo region for a getaway during this period.

As promotion continued, lead actors Luis Zahera and Inma Cuesta discussed the film’s plot, which involves a father investigating his daughter’s death following an incident with an undercover officer. During their appearances, Zahera addressed the physical demands of action roles and his refusal to adopt a ‘neutral’ Spanish accent. Additionally, both actors commented on the Spanish housing crisis, stating that political failures have made urban renting increasingly difficult for young people. Cuesta noted that the current financial difficulty of renting in cities like Madrid would have made her own early career path nearly impossible.

Zahera has further reflected on his role, describing a character who reverts to a violent nature after the loss of his daughter. He also addressed the challenges of typecasting in the Spanish audiovisual industry and shared how his upbringing in the village of A Peruca, in the Sar region of Galicia, shaped his character and the ruggedness of his performances.
