The 3 best films by Miguel Herrán

My cousin 😉 was a discovery of those that shake the foundations of the trade. Legends are forged to the mythical when the unexpected interferes, the change of fate, the turning point..., something that unexpectedly diverts the course of life.

Miguel Herrán did not aim to be an actor, but to anything else. Until Daniel Guzmán rescued him for his film "In exchange for nothing", which meant for him in exchange for everything. That of nihilism as a youthful attitude, the self-imposed label of the lost generation usually devours a multitude of concerns buried by the inertia of perdition.

In this case the diamond ended up coming out of the coal. And in the process, Herran was able to implement all the most intense sensations of the raw real world to transfer them to his most celebrated roles that have only just begun.

Up to the sky

Ángel knew that, from the top of those distant towers in Madrid, he was just an ant. The idea stuck with him as he watched the horizon cut by the irregular skyscrapers. And one can set small short-term goals or decide to tackle the bigger ones right away. The question is to find the shortcut…

In the world of the underworld there are always opportunities for growth for people without scruples, fear, or anything to lose. But you have to be intelligent and approach those who can make you participate in the enriching miseries of society.

Model 77

AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:

A Spanish film in the prison environment always takes me back to the enormous louis tosar in Cell 211. And then one begins with certain prejudices about the capacity for surprise of a film of the same genre. And the background ends up addressing a parallel theme about human nature deprived of liberty and what it means to be punishment rather than rehabilitation.

Because the crimes are what they are and the penalties must stop them. But the question is the moment, let's say redemption, that each prisoner goes through. Something unspeakable but that is sometimes born as an imperative need for freedom, not to undo what was wrongly done but to remake it according to the new person one is.

Model Prison. Barcelona, ​​1977. Manuel (Miguel Herrán), a young accountant, imprisoned and pending trial for committing embezzlement, faces a possible sentence of between 10 and 20 years, a disproportionate punishment for the amount of his crime.

Soon, together with his cellmate, Pino (Javier Gutiérrez), he joins a group of common prisoners that is organizing to demand an amnesty. A war for freedom begins that will shake the Spanish prison system. If things are changing outside, they will have to change inside as well.

In exchange for nothing

A well-deserved Goya as a revelation actor. Because what he assumed was rabid authenticity. I don't put it at the top because it is true that everything is learned, including bringing out even more potential to interpretive virtues forged from deep shadows and doubts. Circumstances capable of projecting the most intense gaze.

Daniel Guzmán was clear about it. For this role he had to find a real character from the same street that he was going to play. Because it was about salvation, an unexpected exorcism...
