My Take

Trueba is the rare artist who works fluently in two registers at once: cinema and the written word. A Complutense graduate who directs, writes screenplays, acts, and works as a journalist and novelist, he has the full toolkit of a storyteller, and the Goya for Best Director proves Spain takes him seriously. What draws me in is that writers-turned-directors tend to build films on stronger narrative bones; the structure holds. I'd never reduce him to mere versatility, because underneath it all seems to sit a genuine observer of people. That makes me curious about his work before I've even pressed play.
