Abracadabra
Part of the Once Upon a Time in Spain Strand
Director Pablo Berger’s follow-up to the brilliant Blancanieves (2012) (also screening in this strand) is a dark comedy / wild fantasy featuring endearing performances from stars Maribel Verdú (Blancanieves) and Antonio de la Torre (The Last Circus, Marshland, The Fury of a Patient Man). With both Blancanieves and Abracadabra shortlisted as potential Spanish submissions to the Academy Awards®, Berger, a much-loved guest at the 57th EIFF, is rapidly becoming one of Spain’s most celebrated directors.
