film profile] continues to sweep up accolades and, along with over €11m in takings and the honour of having created a memorable character (Malamadre), it has earned the title of Spanish Film of the Year.
In a rare occurrence, Daniel Monzón’s film has been a success with both critics and audiences, and has also received industry approval. Rights management bodies (EGEDA), exhibitors (NACAE) and screenwriters (CEC) all named it Best Film of the Year. Moreover; Pedro Pérez, president of FAPAE (Spanish Producers’ Federation), described it a few days ago as “a complete film”.
The press has also fallen under its spell, as shown by the Fotogramas de Plata Award and the ACE (Association of Entertainment Critics of New York) Award.
