My Take

Lola Dueñas is, to me, one of the great character actors of contemporary Spanish cinema. Her work in Almodóvar's Volver and in The Sea Inside lingers long after the credits, and two Goya Awards plus a Cannes acting prize confirm what the eye already senses. What I admire most is that she never coasts on glamour; she finds the bruised, ordinary humanity in every role and makes it luminous. Her willingness to cross into French film shows an actor curious about her craft rather than her comfort. When she is on screen, the air in the scene simply changes, and that is rare.
