El
Acto, 1986
(The Act)
Director:
Hector Faver
Other
Actors: Juanjo Puigcorbe, Magui Mira, Patxi Bisquert
From
"Tan Solo un Actor":
Joaquin and Andrew are two close friends that attempt from
youth a search into sensitivity. With the passage of the years,
both stray from their original search, putting together a
normal life, permitting the small deterioration of their relationship.
This is the argument of the movie "El Acto", by
Faver. Its originality doesn't reside in its argument, but
in the treatment of the cinemagraphic language, that part
of the assembly and the actors' behavior.
Antonio
charged only a nominal fee for his participation in the first
work of Hector Faver, who remembers that "Banderas didn't
want to just make a movie, but rather to become the character
that was requested by the director. "In spite of this
not being a very traditional movie, released only in art theaters
and industrial rehearsal halls, Banderas was decidedly as
involved in the production as the other actors, that included
Juanjo Puigcorbe, Magui Mira, Patxi Bisquert, Lidia Bosch,
Emma Suarez and Ovidi Montllor.
In
order to carry out his small collaboration in "El acto"
["The Act"], Antonio took advantage of his free
day in the theater and was released to Barcelona. Then, he
performed in Maria Guerrero "5 Lorcas 5", directed
by Lluis Pasqual, that recreated five stories of Federico
Garcia Lorca. Antonio played opposite Nacho Martinez in one
of them, titled "El dialogo del amargo" ["The
dialogues of the bitter."]
