Pablo Berger

Pablo Berger is exactly the kind of filmmaker I root for: a Spaniard from Bilbao who keeps reinventing his own form instead of settling into a brand. Going from the sly period comedy of Torremolinos 73 to a black-and-white silent Snow White in Blancanieves takes real nerve, and that Goya for original screenplay felt earned. Then he jumps to wordless animation with Robot Dreams and lands an Oscar nomination. What I admire most is the through-line of silence and gesture across live action and animation. Two Goyas, a Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres, a Gold Medal of Merit in the Fine Arts, and still restless.
