This movie is part of the silent movie age. Iñarritu explained that this movie’s importance is due to: “there are only two existing films in the whole world. This film really impressed me when I saw it on Telluride Festival, France. It was filmed by an extraordinary man, Paul Fejos, who was an anthropologist, pilot, doctor and was even held hostage by a tribe in Madagascar. He was a really interesting man, he lived in Europe and in Hollywood, where he had all the opportunities and open doors to film whatever his creative genius dictated.” [imagen]Iñárritu, before the film, talked with the press and with his friend Alfonso Cuarón. Iñarritu talked about Lonesome, which was filmed in 1928 at Coney Island: “it is a great juggling of styles and tones, an exquisite drama where two characters are searching for happiness; they feel lonely among so many people. This is a beautiful love story, full of anguish.” The film was projected while Deborah Silberer played the piano. Many important people came to the film: Governor Lázaro Cárdenas Batel, and filmmakers Arthur Penn; Fernando Vallejo; José María Escriche, director of Festival de Huesca; and David Antón.
