The never well weighted Jose Luis Garci, the first Spanish to receive a Oscar by "Begin the Beguine", will roll in autumn in Madrid the story of the popular uprising of the May two against the French, a date that the people of Madrid remember with a local festival around the square of the same name, in the Malasaña neighborhood.
According to Efe, the film will be financed in part by the official channel Telemadrid, which has commissioned the work, and will be released in September next year. The budget for the film and the actors who will participate in it are unknown, clarifies the news agency.
Garci is one of the most popular directors in Spanish cinema. In addition to "Starting Again" in 1982, he directed hits such as "Solos en la Dawn" or "You're The One". The last thing he did was "Sunday Light", which will premiere in September.
