Unul dintre cele mai frumoase si longevive cupluri de actori din lume, Penélope Cruz (Volver) si Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men), vor juca impreuna in Bunker, un nou thriller psihologic scris si regizat de Florian Zeller (The Father).
In Bunker, cand un arhitect accepta un proiect moral ambiguu — construirea unui buncar de supravietuire pentru un miliardar din domeniul tehnologiei — sotia lui incepe sa isi puna intrebari despre casnicia lor de 17 ani. Filmul este descris ca un thriller care prezinta provocarile emotionale si morale cu care se confrunta un cuplu, tinand cont de tensiunile lumii in care traiesc, explorand temerile, indoielile si dilemele care definesc aceasta epoca.
Florian Zeller a scris filmul cu Bardem si Cruz in gand pentru rolurile principale, cei doi fiind casatoriti de 15 ani. “I wanted to tell the story of a marriage and was deeply compelled to work with a real-life couple. I immediately was drawn to the idea of working with Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz, two of the most gifted actors working today, who also happen to be one of the most iconic couples. I wrote Bunker for them. This film will push the boundaries of narrative and emotional truth, blurring the lines between reality and fiction in a way that feels thrilling and deeply human,” a declarat acesta.
Acesta nu este primul film in care joaca cei doi actori spanioli faimosi si extrem de talentati; de-a lungul celor trei decenii de cariera, Penélope Cruz si Javier Bardem au impartit marele ecran in Jamón, Jamón, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Loving Pablo sau Everybody Knows.
Bunker este produs de Blue Morning Pictures si MOD Producciones, impreuna cu Alice Dawson, Mariano Cohn, Gaston Duprat, Andres Duprat, Emanuel Nunez and Fernando Sokolowicz, ca producatori executivi.
“What excites me most about working with Florian on Bunker is the bold new direction he’s taking as a filmmaker. This project marks a clear tonal shift — unsettling and cinematically daring, Bunker speaks to the glaring contradictions that exist in modern society. The exploration of fears of the future, from ecological threats to rising social inequality, makes this film both urgent and relevant,” a marturisit Federica Sainte-Rose de la Blue Morning Pictures.
