My Take
Raúl Arévalo earns my admiration because he refused to stay in one lane. Winning the 2009 Goya for Best Supporting Actor would satisfy most performers, but he pushed into directing and took home a Feroz for it too. A grafter from Móstoles, he has been a quietly reliable presence across some of Spanish cinema's sharpest work, and his charge in tense pieces like Marshland is unforgettable. Because he knows the actor's craft from the inside, I suspect he gets the best out of his own casts when he steps behind the camera. I respect anyone this hungry to widen what they can do.
