The Distinguished Citizen
El ciudadano ilustre
2016
Synopsis
After refusing awards all over the world, Mr Mantovani, Literature Nobel Prize winner, accepts an invitation from his hometown in Argentina, whose people have been the inspiration for his books. However, this might become the worse idea of his life, when things turn out different than expected.
Editorial
Boasting a set-up that would make Preston Sturges grin, this hugely enjoyable, gently comic drama won Oscar Martinez the Best Actor award at Venice. A poignant study in lost ideals, The Distinguished Citizen probes the fractious relationship between art and the communities that make it possible.
