Jonás Trueba retrospective at Centre Pompidou Paris

Spanish filmmaker Jonás Trueba was honored with a month-long retrospective at the Centre Pompidou in Paris in February, one of the world's most important contemporary art institutions. The retrospective included a full program of his works, and a book about his career was published. Trueba was discovered in France through his film 'La virgen de agosto', for which he was nominated for a César Award. In June, he will re-release his second film 'Los ilusos', which also gave its name to his production company. The article contrasts this with a recent cycle dedicated to Pedro Almodóvar at the same institution a few weeks later, who also gave a masterclass. Trueba is described as a discreet artisan and one of the most counter-current personalities in Spanish cinema.
