The Beloved
Directed by Rodrigo Sorogoyen
Acclaimed film director Esteban Martínez is a legend both for his films and for his past marked by violence and excess. For his latest project, he offers his daughter Emilia a role under the pretext of helping her with her stalled acting career. Living together on set will foster a closeness they haven’t shared for years, but it will also reopen old wounds that never healed. From TMDB

28 of 28 · most liked firstLobby cards for THE BELOVED ROGUE. I enjoy the way dramatic movie scenes of torture are framed in a border with 80s sugary cereal vibes.
positive · AI labelView post →Conrad Veidt befriending John Barrymore in his English language film debut, THE BELOVED ROGUE. It's a profoundly strange role, with Veidt hunched over, greasy and perpetually, er, moist. However, I think it served him well since other European imports were damaged by Hollywood overhype.

Hard not to compare to Sentimental Value, but the two leads give great performances, despite slow pacing and distracting stylistic changes. #LFF

neutral · AI labelView post →The Beloved. Oh boy that was MAJESTIC. Script, performances, mastery of cinematography, framing, sound, editing, cinema history. That film will stay with me for quite some time. Sentimental Value’s even more accomplished, more searing, more powerful big brother. #lff #filmsky #javierbardem

positive · AI labelView post →Making amends for past transgressions is an obviously noble pursuit, even if the forgiveness one might seek isn’t necessarily guaranteed or accepted to the degree expected. So it is for acclaimed film director Esteban Martínez (Javier Bardem), a renowned two-time Oscar winner who seeks to reconcile with his estranged daughter, Emilia (Victoria Luengo), a twenty-something aspiring actress whom he hasn’t seen in 13 years. He looks to build bridges with her personally, making up for all the pain…
positive · AI labelView post →#LFF2026 THE BELOVED is the second excellent Javier Bardem performance of the Festival, playing a film director who invites his estranged daughter (Victoria Luengo) to star in his new film. Filmed mostly in alarming close-up by Rodrigo Sorogoyen, let’s say old wounds are reopened.

positive · AI labelView post →#LFF The Beloved - Sorogoyen’s anti-Sentimental Value weaponises film techniques to portray a family whose worlds have been shaped by cinema for the worst. Luengo is at her very best; Bardem is so tormented, you’d think home is where he truly belongs. A brutal look at pasts that can never be erased.
