The director and the film’s star, Ángela Molina, went to ‘El Hormiguero’ to present the film. She made an extra effort to attend the program because, as Pablo Motos said, she suffered a back injury. To alleviate it, she put cushions on the guest’s usual chair. “With back pain and a cold, but she couldn’t stop coming, she had to be here,” said the actress.

If something characterizes Casanova’s cinema, it is his particular vision of reality and the way of capturing it on celluloid. “The cool thing is that it opens on Friday the 13th and this is a horror movie, a genre that I love,” warned the director. His partner added: “But it is also comedy.” To which the filmmaker added: “Yes, and also a fantastic film, like Angela Molina.” Compliment that was celebrated with applause.

According to its author, ‘La piedad’ “is an artistic exercise”, he defined. Casanova celebrated his passion. “Something wonderful that art has is that the public can make their own reflections and think,” he opined. Focusing on his story, the filmmaker provided data. “It’s about the search for freedom and whether freedom really exists,” he commented. Molina added information. «You are going to freak out with her, but you are not going to forget her in life. She allows you to suffer without pain », he pointed out, praising the person in charge of him who was humorous to respond to the praise. “Basically, what Ángela is talking about is something that I am very good at, which is putting Vaseline on something to make it better,” he ironized.

“There are even instruments of torture,” warned Ángela Molina about Casanova’s surreal work, which clarified that the interpreter was referring to how stormy it was for her to shoot a complex birth. “We had to make several pussies. In that scene, Angela’s character gives birth to an adult child, and it’s hard for her to get out of such a small place, so different prostheses had to be made to change the pussies from bigger to smaller, depending on the shot. », he exposed. ‘Piety’ has been cooking for a long time. «I started writing it six years ago, although in reality it has always been inside of me. Now I am faced with something that scares me a lot, which is separating myself from something that I have been passionate about and giving it to people. It gives me a little pain and nerves, but above all I am deeply happy », she assured about her brand new premiere. And for those who are wary of such a personal product, she added: “It’s not a mental straw, it has an understandable narrative and it’s fun.”
