Precisely, when Cruz received French cinema’s Honorary César in 2018, it was Cotillard, accompanied by the filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar, who presented her with the accolade.Ĭotillard, who has worked under the orders of filmmakers like Michael Mann, Christopher Nolan, Woody Allen, the Dardenne brothers, Nicole Garcia and Leos Carax, has featured in casts alongside many co-stars, including the self-same Penélope Cruz, Daniel Day-Lewis, Nicole Kidman, Joaquin Phoenix, Brad Pitt, Louis Garrel, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Adam Driver and Johnny Depp, who will receive the second Donostia Award of the 69th edition this Wednesday. “I didn’t expect it, I love this woman, I love her very much”, said Cotillard, surprised to receive the Donostia Award from Penélope Cruz. Penélope Cruz presented the honorary award to the French actress during an opening gala with the theme of the hugs interrupted by the pandemic, and which also served to remember those who have recently left us, such as the filmmaker Bertrand Tavernier and the former Festival director, Luis Gasca. Tonight, at the Kursaal, Marion Cotillard received the first of the two Donostia Awards to be presented at San Sebastian Festival’s 69th edition.

Ultimately Ohrel's brilliant direction of a succession of gut-punchingly powerful scenes makes this one of the standout videos of the year so far - in fact, of the decade so far. And like Donald Glover and Hiro Murai's polemic about the reality of violence and fear in Black people's lives in the US, this video is also attracting serious debate and commentary, in a growing number of YouTube reaction videos, and other, more scholarly articles.Ĭomparisons are inevitable, but Residente's This Is Not America differs from This Is America in being essentially more politically-based: the rapper's focus is upon the resilience of the oppressed, and their willingness to resist. Like This Is America, the video was produced by Jason Cole and Danielle Hinde at Doomsday Entertainment. Many of the scenes in the video are based on real political events that are well known in Latin America, but not so much elsewhere - including when Puerto Rican independence fighter Lolita Lebrón shot live rounds into the air inside the US Capitol Building in 1954, in protest to violence inflicted the US government on Puerto Rico (including bombing) and (in the video's most horrifying scene) the assassination of Chilean folk singer Victor Jara, killed for singing songs against General Pinochet's US-backed military coup while imprisoned in Estadio Chile in 1973. Remarkably poignant, the heartwrenching concept is unflinching in its display of brutal injuries, destruction of land and the forced separation of families, and cleverly parallels opposing ideas through match cuts and split screen effects.Īn undercurrent of anger is palpable throughout the video, and the portrait-style vignettes interspersed throughout act as a reminder of the people and communities these issues are affecting, whilst also acting as a statement that the victims refuse to be oppressed. Greg Ohrel directs a hugely powerful promo for Puerto Rican rapper Residente's This Is Not America, taking aim at police brutality, corporate greed and the effects of US cultural hegemony - and acting as both sequel and critique of the seminal video for Childish Gambino's This Is America.
