As many of you know, the career of this prolific writer, screenwriter and film-maker is vast \u2013 she has 25 titles counting films, series, documentaries and short films – and we could devote an article to this alone. However, we are here to share the interview she gave us barely a few weeks ago, for the release of her latest film It Snows in Benidorm. <\/em>Come in and read.<\/p>\n

What did you want to be when you grew up?<\/h6>\n

As a child, I wanted to be a telephone operator, a missionary nun in Africa and a film director.<\/p>\n

Sartre said \u201cWe only become what we\u00a0are by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made of us.\u201d What vital moment are you at right now?<\/h6>\n

At a point where I couldn\u2019t care less about what others see or their approval or rejection.<\/p>\n

When and how did you discover films and what was the detonator that made you to decide to devote your life professionally to film-making?<\/h6>\n

I discovered films at a very young age, because my grandmother was the clerk at the box office at the Texas Cinema<\/em> in Gr\u00e0cia, Barcelona.<\/p>\n

\u201cI discovered films at a very young age, because my grandmother was the clerk at the box office at the Texas Cinema in Gr\u00e0cia.\u201d<\/h2>\n

I always said that I wanted to do what I saw in the films, because I was fascinated but I always knew I wanted to be behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

And there was also a film that my parents took me to see – that I didn\u2019t understand at all- which was \u201cIsadora\u201d<\/em>with Vanessa Redgrave<\/em>, but it was a film that certainly had an impact on me, very much so.<\/p>\n

\u2018It snows in Benidorm\u2019 has just been released following several postponements due to the pandemic. How do you feel following the release?<\/h6>\n

It\u2019s like when you take your child to nursery, you watch him or her go in and can see that they are partly \u201cindependent\u201d, but you still feel a very strong connection. It\u2019s similar when a film is released. It\u2019s a very strange feeling, as if I have finished something that I can\u2019t quite let go of or disconnect from yet.<\/p>\n

What attracted you to Benidorm? Discovering that Silvia Plath lived great moments of happiness in this city?<\/h6>\n

What most attracted me to Benidorm was the fascination that I ended up feeling for this city, in spite of my initial prejudice.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat most attracted me to Benidorm was the fascination that I ended up feeling for this city, in spite of my initial prejudice.\u201d<\/h2>\n

I don\u2019t know how things are now, but every time I was there, I saw genuinely happy people. However, when we walk along the street and see elderly people, we normally see that their facial expression is one of worry, but that\u2019s not the case there. It\u2019s not something you see in Benidorm. And I pay close attention to people\u2019s facial expressions.<\/p>\n

And with regards to Silvia Plath<\/em>\u2026 When I read her diaries and saw that she talked about Benidorm and that she had been there, I couldn\u2019t believe it. It would be the last place in the world that you would imagine bumping into her. Obviously, the Benidorm she visited has nothing to do with what it is now\u2026<\/p>\n

Also, they are about to publish new memoirs of hers that I have already read and they are marvellous, especially because in some way they vindicate her role as someone who was very much alive, distancing it from what almost everyone knows about her, which was how her life ended.<\/p>\n

This book is going to help show this side of her, in the same way that I have tried to capture it in my film where she appears happy in Benidorm.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At the same time, Silvia Plath<\/em> in the film also reflects the other way things could have been done in this city using different criteria. The presence of Bofill\u2019s Red Wall<\/em> goes along the same lines. They help to question or at least ask ourselves how this place would have been with a little imagination, creativity and good taste.<\/p>\n

The film is an ode to calm, to the here and now, to allowing ourselves to be surprised with no other plan than to survive the present. How did this plot come about?<\/h6>\n

I started out with the idea of making a documentary, not only about Benidorm but about how the Mediterranean coast has changed over the last 20 years.. A documentary involving environmental technicians, urban planners\u2026<\/p>\n

So I headed there to film some shots to illustrate the project I wanted to do, and\u2026 once I was there – I had never been to Benidorm – I discovered a very endearing, very surprising, very bizarre world… and I loved it. I think it\u2019s a place with so many paradoxes and contradictions that it draws you immensely. In fact, when we were shooting, there were four other filmings going on at the same time, and I honestly think there will be many more, because this place is fascinating in many ways.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t know Sarita Choudhury, the leading actress and she is sublime. Why did you decide to work with her again?<\/h6>\n

I worked with her on Learning to Drive <\/em>with Ben Kingsley<\/em> and I really liked her. In that film, she played a submissive woman.<\/p>\n

However, when we were out and went into restaurants, everyone would be captivated by the energy Sarita <\/em>exudes. She has this incredible personal magnetism, and I think films haven\u2019t used it much. That\u2019s why I thought it was time we exploited it.<\/p>\n

Going back to Silvia Plath, in \u201cIt Snows in Benidorm\u201d you highlight a sentence of hers which is crucial to both the film and life: \u201cif you never expect anything from anyone, you will never be disappointed.\u201d Do you live by this or are you the type of person that is overwhelmed by expectations?<\/h6>\n

I do not apply this at all, and I don\u2019t think she did either (she laughs). I don\u2019t like to go through life not trusting people, although it\u2019s obvious that, with age, your instinct improves\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cI am of the opinion that you cannot live without expectations. Life is too short.\u201d<\/h2>\n

You write the script, choose locations, direct and are behind the camera\u2026 how do you conceive a film? Do you tend to work in a team or do you prefer solitude when creating?<\/h6>\n

When I write, I prefer to do so alone. In my case, I need to in order to know what I want to do and allow the story to grow in me, even if I share it afterwards and it takes a different path. But there has to be an initial moment of solitude when writing a script, that I think is important.<\/p>\n

How have you experienced this year? How has it affected you?<\/h6>\n

I had a marvellous start to the year as I was shooting a film. That was at the end of January, and we were filming until ten days before the lockdown. And of course, I was very happy there, and then it was like fog. Something I mention a lot this year and that accurately describes this time.<\/p>\n

At the moment, it\u2019s very difficult to have a more or less clear idea of where we are, of why this has happened, of how we should react. I think that all of us, including the government, are taking stabs in the dark, without really knowing what to do, what to think, what to feel, what not to trust. I live in a kind of permanent mental fog and I cannot say that I have lived this well.<\/p>\n

Your book, \u201cNot everyone will love you\u201d fascinated us. Mainly because it is a pleasure to read what you write and share opinions and tastes. How did this book come about? Why a compilation of articles?<\/h6>\n

I have been asked many times to write a novel, but it\u2019s not something I plan to do. So when the publishing company turned up with this proposal, \u00a0about publishing texts that I had written for other publications, it made sense to me. But to write a book with the intent of publishing it, I can\u2019t see it right now.<\/p>\n

Articles give you the freedom to talk about anything, about things that happen to me, situations I have heard about or experienced in the supermarket, encounters with fantastic people\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Its title seems like a good reminder and the perfect mantra for life. Why did you decide on a title like that? And do you envisage writing another?<\/h6>\n

Maybe, because I have continued to publish articles, but it\u2019s not something I am thinking about right now.<\/p>\n

Regarding the title\u2026 yes, it\u2019s a learning process. It\u2019s something that someone I admire immensely once said to me, and who I had the good fortune to spend quite a lot of time with. It\u2019s Jeanne Moreau<\/em>. One fine day, during a conversation, she told me that one of the hardest things to learn was the idea that there are people who will never like you or get on well with, no matter what you do. And that is the truth. It\u2019s a difficult lesson to learn, but it it has to be learnt. Anyway, when people accuse me of being a snob and so on, I laugh. I come from a lower class family, and everything that I have achieved, I have done so thanks to my efforts. No one gave me anything for free.<\/p>\n

Obviously, we live at a time in which there are a lot of people with a lot of free time who devote it to criticizing or having a dig at anyone, almost out of pleasure. And of course, sometimes I read things about myself that surprise me, despite the fact that I admit it all affects me a lot less now. At other times in my life, this type of criticism\/ negative comments would have a big impact on me and made my heart sink. But not now, now I think that everyone needs a hobby, even if that hobby is hating, disliking… Not everyone will love you.<\/p>\n

What did receiving the Premio Nacional de Cine (the National Film Award) mean to you? How important do you feel awards are?<\/h6>\n

It was a fantastic surprise that I honestly wasn\u2019t expecting and hadn\u2019t even thought they would give me. It gave me the chance to deliver a speech, in which I said a number of things that I felt were important to remember.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve enjoyed experiencing a film release in these times of pandemic. There are less spectators, but those who go to the cinema, do so with an unwavering passion and desire to be carried away.<\/p>\n

Awards are a great cherry on the cake. Although for me, the cake is the prize and that\u2019s the film. So if you get an award for it, that\u2019s fantastic, but to have made it is already a reward. Above all, I think awards are great when they help the film, because these are times when it\u2019s really hard to achieve things.<\/p>\n

Do you have a special preference for any of your films?<\/h6>\n

I have predilection for \u201cThings I never told you\u201d <\/em>because it was a film that nobody believed in, and it was like a Sisific<\/em> effort. It really was a beautiful process, very indie, very much of a certain time, when people watched\u00a0Jim Jarmusch<\/em> films, a series of film-makers were starting out and it was a great breeding ground to do stuff like this.<\/p>\n

Anyway, for me, films are no longer the finished film but the process, the shooting\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, films are no longer the finished film but the process, the shooting\u2026\u201d<\/h2>\n
In recent times, you\u2019ve raised your voice without reservations regarding the challenge of the separatist process in Catalonia. Is it still harmful for you to publicly explain your opinion?<\/h6>\n

Let\u2019s say it doesn\u2019t help. Sometimes, I feel like a bit of an outsider. But I think it is important to explain that there are people who don\u2019t share their opinion. There are quite a few of us who disagree, and I say what I think and what I feel. In any case, I think everyone is very tired of this.<\/p>\n

You have said that your shyness is social and that you can\u2019t stand gatherings of more than five people, stages or conferences. What happens when you are promoting a film? These times are great for that, aren\u2019t they?<\/h6>\n

It has come in handy for some things (she laughs). But well, I am also an army ant soldier and I do what has to be done. So, if I have to go to present a film or a colloquium, I go without complaint. It\u2019s my duty. I\u2019ll do anything in my power that will help the film. I\u2019m clear on that.<\/p>\n

Regarding the shyness, the truth is it is something that is never cured. The thing is that, in my case, my sense of duty is greater than my condition.<\/p>\n

Has being a woman been detrimental in your profession? And out of it?<\/h6>\n

Yes. I think we can all say the same. Having said that, I feel there are things that are clearly improving. In my case, I think I should have protested sooner about many things and not kept quiet. But I also think that, at the time when I started working\u2026I remember that (and this is something that I had buried away) when I was working at a marketing agency, in the creative department, where we were all young and I was the only girl \u2013 the other women were all secretaries-\u00a0 I discovered one day that my colleagues earned twice as much as I did, in spite of having the same role. I remember that I didn\u2019t tell anyone, and I didn\u2019t summon up the courage to speak\u2026 but I began looking for another job finally knowing what salaries were being paid. And well, I ask myself what would have happened if I had challenged it.<\/p>\n

How do you get on with male film-makers?<\/h6>\n

I have to say I get on really well with my female colleagues. There is always a really good vibe, regardless of what we are doing or going to do. There is a lot of real solidarity.<\/p>\n

With my male colleagues, too. I have male film-maker friends who I adore.<\/p>\n

Do you relate to the \u201cempowered woman\u201d concept?<\/h6>\n

I do with the concept, but the word horrifies me. Because it\u2019s a word that may sound stronger in English but sounds strange when translated. I don\u2019t know. But I have a lot of pet hates when it comes to words. I want to be more empowered and to be given more power.<\/p>\n

If you could hit Ctrl+Z, what would you eliminate from your life? And what would you add?<\/h6>\n

I would eliminate from my life, all the hours I spent suffering over nonsense and over people that weren\u2019t worth it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would eliminate from my life, all the hours I spent suffering over nonsense and over people that weren\u2019t worth it.\u201d<\/h2>\n

And putting on weight (she laughs). And I would add the power of eating without putting on weight and a greater sense of humour. I do have one but I\u2019d like to have more if possible. The truth is I would add more of all the good things. And above all, I would add being able to make all the films I have in mind and that I won\u2019t have time to make.<\/p>\n

What role does publicity have in your life?<\/h6>\n

Well, I haven\u2019t done publicity for a long time. It was a stage in my life and it\u2019s over.<\/p>\n

In an IKEA advert, you make fun of yourself saying you rejected a film that won several Oscar awards. What was that like?<\/h6>\n

I have an agent in America who sends me a large number of screenplays, proposals\u2026 And although I really liked the script for Million Dollar Baby<\/em>, I couldn\u2019t see Sandra Bullock<\/em> in the leading role. And I was certain about it, because I knew that if I had accepted, during shooting it would have been worse, because the way she saw the film was much sweeter than how I saw the script and it would have been a constant battle. Then along came Clint Eastwood<\/em>, \u00a0<\/em>a very prestigious director who got rid of her, kept the screenplay and chose a different leading actor. In any case, with that same production company, I later filmed Elegy <\/em>and they really appreciated my honesty.<\/p>\n

People or characters throughout time that you admire\u2026<\/h6>\n

I really admire Tim Robbins<\/em>. He is a person with enormous talent, who has known how to distance himself from the Hollywood game, because he is not interested. He is deeply happy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really admire Tim Robbins. He is a person with enormous talent.\u201d<\/h2>\n

And he does his own thing, he has his theatre group, every so often he does something to earn money but I really like his career path and his honesty. He is a great guy and really good fun to be with. I really like Agn\u00e8s Varda<\/em>, for her consistency, her curiosity and her zest for life. She is very stimulating. Actually, the list would be very long, because there are many people that I admire.<\/p>\n

Another one of the gifts in your book are your recommendations. You have been very generous. Would you add any recent ones that you specifically liked?<\/h6>\n

Lots. From restaurants to books\u2026 I have read three books by three very different authors that I\u2019ve really liked. I have read a book by a Japanese author, Yoko Ogawa<\/em>, called The Memory Police<\/em>, It\u2019s the best dystopia that I have read in a long time. It\u2019s a novel about a society where objects and words begin to disappear. It\u2019s very interesting. In fact, there is a film, and someone has bought the rights and it wasn\u2019t me. And Un Amor<\/em> by Sara Mesa<\/em>, that I really liked. It\u2019s a novel where many women may see themselves. And I have read the manuscript for a book of short stories by a friend of mine called Laura Ferrero<\/em>, called La gente no existe<\/em>. They are wonderful stories. It\u2019s out in January.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next?<\/h6>\n

I don\u2019t know, I have no idea. I thought I would think about it in January. I can\u2019t think right now.<\/p>\n

A destination you\u2019d like to visit when it\u2019s possible to travel\u2026<\/h6>\n

One of the trips I\u2019d like to do is to return to Japan. And when they open bars and restaurants, I\u2019d like to return to Paris.<\/p>\n

A dream<\/h6>\n

Well, an absurd dream that won\u2019t come true and that I sometimes think about is that they put a small amount of Ecstasy in tap water, not enough to make someone have a fit or anything but to make us all relax a lot. And for all that fear and exasperation to end once and for all, because it is a complete pain and is good for nothing. It would be something like replicating those moments before an operation when you are given Propofol, and everything seems marvellous\u2026.<\/p>\n
