Express analysis | Los Goya and Cabachie Success, a love story
Sometimes you have the perception that prizes and public success do not usually go hand in hand. But it is a popular wisdom that Goya have been denialing. In this edition it is confirmed. 47, with 14 candidacies, and The infiltratedwith 13, the prizes nominations dominate.
The first, a story of overcoming the arrival of a bus line to a marginal neighborhood in Barcelona, is the highest grossing film in more than 40 years (and house in flames has stayed very close).
The infiltratedby Arantxa Echevarría is the second Spanish film more seen in all 2024, only behind the fourth Father there is only one. The drama about the infiltrated police in ETA is, in addition, the film led by a woman who has raised the most in history: more than eight million.
The third Spanish film in 2024 is the animated Buffalo Kidswhich has two nominations. The variety has worked this year this year, and not only the classic family comedies (although they are also present).
Of course, there are peros: before one year it encloses at the box office in general, it is true that the commercial success of Spanish cinema stagnated in 2024. The national productions meant 19% box office and tickets of the total (in France local cinema , for example, supposed 44%). The percentage increased only 2% compared to 2023.
The Goya have been rewarding “popular” cinema for a few years. In 2023, he swept The beastsby Rodrigo Sorogoyen, one of the 2022 box office triumphs, while in the last edition he took the best film award, and 11 other statuettes, The snow societyby Ja Bayona, a film in Netflix made for the general public.
