Berlin was already a charismatic, handsome, romantic thief, effective in carrying out his plans.very similar to what we saw in action behind Dalí’s mask and red overalls at the Spanish Mint and Stamp Factory, defying all the police authorities of his country.
Here The shadows will not be swept away, but your life will have a brighter lookappealing to the comical toucheswithout losing sight of the police.
The intention of the authors is save the more playful and jovial character of Andrés de Fonollosabetter known to the public as Berlin.
“There’s a little light in Berlin and a little dizziness. He is a character who sometimes has something tragic.. It should all be very joyful and vibrant, but it always has that tragic side. And all this in the key of a more romantic comedy, therefore with many nuances,” Alonso told the Fotogramas website.
“Berlin is like a theme park. You can take him to Shakespeare and it works, to Chekhov, to a romantic comedy, to Berlin as a young man… I put myself in the service of this and try not to get ahead of myself and see that, perhaps, the golden age was hell, and I take advantage of that. “It’s a lot of fun for an actor,” he continued in that interview.
