ABOUT THE FILMS THE GOOD BOSS, 2021, Mk2, 120 min. Dir. Fernando León de Aranoa. Spain’s 2022 Oscar Submission and official shortlist candidate for Best International Feature Film Filmmaker Fernando León de Aranoa reteams with his LOVING PABLO and MONDAYS IN THE SUN star Javier Bardem in this pointed satire of Spain’s economic and cultural shifts. In the title role, Bardem plays the conniving head of a family-owned manufacturer of precision scales – a company thrown out of balance when a campaign to win an award brings innumerable workplace tensions to the surface. “With a style reminiscent of the Coen brothers’ trademark cinematic sarcasm, especially in their quirkier works like BURN AFTER READING, León de Aranoa artfully spins a story (which he also wrote) of bad behavior trying to pass itself off as good.” – Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter FORMAT: DCP MONDAYS IN THE SUN, 2002, Lionsgate, 113 min. Dir. Fernando León de Aranoa. In Fernando León de Aranoa’s MONDAYS IN THE SUN, a group of Spanish dockworkers living in an impoverished part of northern Spain lose their jobs and are forced to look for work after the local dockyard closes. The longtime friends end up spending their days at the local watering hole lamenting their bleak lives, all the while searching for something — anything — that will help them retain a sense of personal dignity. Starring Javier Bardem. FORMAT: DCP
