00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:08,320
Wow, I'm Paulo Urquijo, the director of
Gaua, the movie you are watching now

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Official YIFY movies site:
YTS.BZ

4
00:00:08,321 --> 00:00:11,840
himself, and this is The
Director's Audio Commentary.

5
00:00:13,380 --> 00:00:19,200
Well, we are in an era in which fewer
and fewer DVDs and Blu-rays are sold and I

6
00:00:19,201 --> 00:00:24,800
It's very sad because, the truth is, I
am one of those who collects format

7
00:00:24,801 --> 00:00:28,980
physical, as I imagine many of you
who have purchased this Blu-ray or

8
00:00:28,981 --> 00:00:36,940
DVD, and for me this type of format is
important because, well, on the one hand because

9
00:00:36,941 --> 00:00:41,420
You have the movie at home to watch and
that's cool, but then for all the extras

10
00:00:41,421 --> 00:00:47,380
that the film has and for me this
type of content has been very important

11
00:00:47,381 --> 00:00:54,200
because I have learned a lot with
the special editions in which they came

12
00:00:54,201 --> 00:01:00,940
audio commentaries, extras, making-ofs and
more, and I always feel like it a lot...

13
00:01:00,941 --> 00:01:05,444
Well, talk about the movie in
this type of audio commentary.

14
00:01:05,445 --> 00:01:09,280
in case there are people
who can also learn from it.

15
00:01:11,140 --> 00:01:15,720
And well, Gawa is a film that, As
you know and I have said it many times,

16
00:01:15,860 --> 00:01:21,820
It is inspired by Basque mythology
in its most nocturnal part, at night.

17
00:01:22,180 --> 00:01:27,455
And well, in this case we
start the film with this engraving

18
00:01:27,456 --> 00:01:30,920
in Him you see this duality
between day and night.

19
00:01:30,940 --> 00:01:36,360
In Basque mythology it is said that Gaueco,
The god of the night, when he kidnaps you, says

20
00:01:36,860 --> 00:01:39,700
the night for those of the night
and the day for those of the day.

21
00:01:39,780 --> 00:01:42,780
Well, the other way around, it is day for those
of the day and night for those of the night.

22
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:49,600
And it was in some way to synthesize this
concept in this engraving, this type of

23
00:01:49,601 --> 00:01:56,760
engravings from the 16th and 17th centuries,
which we can find for example in many treatises

24
00:01:56,761 --> 00:02:03,120
of the Inquisition or in iconographies
or visualizations of biblical situations.

25
00:02:03,420 --> 00:02:07,780
And well, since it is an iconography
that has in fact represented all that

26
00:02:07,781 --> 00:02:13,640
world of witchcraft that has come to us,
of the witchcraft treatises, of the Maleus

27
00:02:13,641 --> 00:02:16,053
Maleficarum, from the book
of Pierre Delancre and others,

28
00:02:16,054 --> 00:02:20,440
Well, I really wanted to
start with this engraving.

29
00:02:21,340 --> 00:02:25,820
Another thing we tried in the film
was to make it as physical as possible.

30
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:32,800
And to make this engraving,
well, I designed the material,

31
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:38,080
but it was made, it was engraved
on wood and then we shot it.

32
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:43,147
In this Blu-ray itself you
will find a short video clip in

33
00:02:43,148 --> 00:02:46,360
which you can see The
process, a kind of mini-making.

34
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,320
And the truth is that
it looks wonderful.

35
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:51,220
That's physical.

36
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,900
We could have done it digitally,
but the truth is that in wood it is a joy.

37
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,400
So we start here at night.

38
00:03:00,940 --> 00:03:04,160
With, for example, an owl, one
of the inhabitants of the night.

39
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:09,220
A curious thing is that the owl does not make
noise when it flies, but... and it was a...

40
00:03:09,221 --> 00:03:15,020
At first the idea was that it would
fly like a kind of ghost, but the

41
00:03:15,021 --> 00:03:18,500
The truth is that visually,
Audiovisually it is super powerful, right?

42
00:03:18,580 --> 00:03:21,500
That we would listen to
that which is not heard.

43
00:03:21,580 --> 00:03:23,760
And in the end, that's
what cinema is, right?

44
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,260
It's leading to...
it's the magic, right?

45
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,700
Invent that fantastic world.

46
00:03:30,940 --> 00:03:33,800
Here we see that in the middle
of the night it appears Cachalin.

47
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:37,540
This basherry where
we filmed is in...

48
00:03:37,541 --> 00:03:44,280
It is Higar Porqueti, which is a basherry
winery where Sagardo Sidra was made.

49
00:03:44,740 --> 00:03:49,040
And well, it is an incredible museum that is
in Ipuzkoa, which you can visit if you want.

50
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,220
And well, here we enter
the world of Cachalin.

51
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,200
One of the things that this movie
has, well, it's set in The Century

52
00:03:58,201 --> 00:04:00,920
XVII, right around the
time of the... of the...

53
00:04:00,921 --> 00:04:04,000
of the witchcraft hunt, well,
there we have a fly agaric,

54
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:09,680
which is a poisonous mushroom that with
which, knowing how to do it, well you can

55
00:04:09,681 --> 00:04:13,960
place, you can even poison
someone with brutal poisoning, right?

56
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,000
But quite large
quantities are required.

57
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:23,240
Well, here we see, as I told
you, The film is set in The Century

58
00:04:23,241 --> 00:04:27,250
XVII and we see
all those... all that

59
00:04:27,251 --> 00:04:30,920
characterization, the type
of costumes and so on.

60
00:04:30,921 --> 00:04:37,320
And well, here we see, in addition, it is based
on documentation of the costumes of that time.

61
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,700
And also in The art
aspect of the film, right?

62
00:04:44,220 --> 00:04:51,931
Here we hear The Whistle,
which later can be associated with

63
00:04:51,932 --> 00:04:55,801
the... well, the character who
will later be Mateo Chistuno.

64
00:04:56,700 --> 00:05:00,340
Well, here you see The
interior of the Vasheri kitchen.

65
00:05:01,020 --> 00:05:04,371
With these two great
actors, Yune Nogueiras,

66
00:05:04,471 --> 00:05:10,320
which is Cachalen, and
Xavi Jabato, who plays Peyo.

67
00:05:10,420 --> 00:05:12,740
It's a... it's a machine,
then you'll see.

68
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:18,240
Well, the truth is that the two actors
had a very hard shoot, because,

69
00:05:18,340 --> 00:05:23,440
Well, they are characters who go
through quite powerful physical situations.

70
00:05:23,780 --> 00:05:31,920
And well, both acting and physically,
It was a spectacle, one of the titans.

71
00:05:31,980 --> 00:05:35,700
And well, the truth is that it has
been wonderful to have them.

72
00:05:37,420 --> 00:05:42,160
This scene that you see, as I told
you, It is the kitchen in Igartubeiti.

73
00:05:42,340 --> 00:05:44,100
This Vasheri Lagar.

74
00:05:46,060 --> 00:05:50,320
And well, since it was a museum,
they didn't let us light candles.

75
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:59,220
All the light you see there is artificial
light, made with... well, with LEDs or with...

76
00:06:01,620 --> 00:06:05,940
Placed by the electricians under the
orders of Gorka Gómez Andréu, The Fantastic

77
00:06:05,941 --> 00:06:08,814
cinematographer of the
film and of all the things that I

78
00:06:08,815 --> 00:06:14,960
I do, because he is one of my
brothers in the battle of filming.

79
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:20,150
And the fire you see there
is a very controlled fire.

80
00:06:20,151 --> 00:06:24,540
by Drama FX, the
special effects company.

81
00:06:24,541 --> 00:06:29,500
And the truth is that we couldn't
light any kind of fire because,

82
00:06:29,580 --> 00:06:35,160
Of course, everything The baserri is made of
wood and we understand that it is very dangerous,

83
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:40,440
So with all the security measures
we illuminated it so that it had

84
00:06:40,441 --> 00:06:45,300
this atmosphere of that
time, so dark, so expressionist.

85
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:56,240
I always tend to view
my films in a way, well,

86
00:06:56,300 --> 00:07:02,440
On that very contrasting point, right?
so denied in shadows, because basically

87
00:07:02,441 --> 00:07:05,947
because it's what I like,
because it's what I like the most

88
00:07:05,948 --> 00:07:09,201
vibrates with me and the
stories I want to tell, right?

89
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,751
I can't think of
luminous stories and

90
00:07:12,752 --> 00:07:15,280
soft light, then,
well, basically...

91
00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:18,520
Many times they ask me for pictorial
references, and there are many,

92
00:07:18,740 --> 00:07:26,541
but mainly it is because of that, it is
because aesthetically it is what I love.

93
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:37,140
So, well, obviously we have authors
like Goya, Caravaggio and painters

94
00:07:37,141 --> 00:07:45,280
of that nature, but hey, it's basically
because the movie asks me to.

95
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:57,280
Well, here we see how, well, The
character of Xavi, Jabato, Peyo,

96
00:07:57,380 --> 00:08:04,800
whose name I decided from the song
Oh, Peyo, Peyo, which Miquel Aboa sings,

97
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:09,980
because, well, it's a song about a woman
who sings to her husband, that she doesn't

98
00:08:09,981 --> 00:08:12,753
let him sleep, he has
to always be working, it's

99
00:08:12,754 --> 00:08:15,180
a, let's say, a song
about an exploited woman.

100
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:19,380
And that's why I named
Peyo the character of Peyo.

101
00:08:19,580 --> 00:08:26,340
And Cachalin, in this case, is for a
character who is Cachalin Belauntzácoa,

102
00:08:26,460 --> 00:08:33,300
that in the 15th century she was tried
together with her lover, Marichu Oyarzungua,

103
00:08:33,420 --> 00:08:35,140
for being lovers, right?

104
00:08:35,220 --> 00:08:40,680
And as I imagine you know, Well
the movie is about a relationship

105
00:08:40,681 --> 00:08:44,380
love that at that time
was not well seen.

106
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:51,000
From this universe of the Inquisition
and witchcraft, and, well, it is a small

107
00:08:51,001 --> 00:08:53,160
tribute to those two
historical figures, right?

108
00:08:53,180 --> 00:08:54,460
Cachalin and Marichu.

109
00:08:55,780 --> 00:09:00,300
Here you see El baserri, on the one hand,
what we see here on the outside, is also

110
00:09:00,301 --> 00:09:05,280
arrive your beiti, but you see this
vegetation that is seen in the foreground and

111
00:09:05,281 --> 00:09:08,900
counterplano, let's say, or
El contracampo del Bosque.

112
00:09:09,820 --> 00:09:14,740
Well, the vegetation is put by art,
but then the counterfield that we have

113
00:09:14,741 --> 00:09:17,607
seen... There is just the
Cross and what we will see later

114
00:09:17,667 --> 00:09:20,720
When Cachalin flees from the
baserri, it is in another place.

115
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,720
They are two different spaces.

116
00:09:22,980 --> 00:09:25,330
When we were rolling towards
The baserri was about to arrive

117
00:09:25,331 --> 00:09:28,800
tu beiti and towards The
other side was Articuza.

118
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:35,240
Many times you already know that in cinema,
well, many times not always everything

119
00:09:35,241 --> 00:09:45,080
It's a lie and we do these kind of
Frankenstein tricks to create this story.

120
00:09:45,100 --> 00:09:48,640
A story, well, that tries to
be a truth within fiction, right?

121
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:57,220
Well, here we see Cachalin
who, well, she dresses as a man,

122
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,220
Then we'll see why, right?

123
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:04,360
It is a thing, a seed that will later
blossom into what The Screenplay is.

124
00:10:04,860 --> 00:10:12,680
And well, as you see, for example, In
this case there are the rooms of the...

125
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:20,080
of the stay of... well, of the
different stays of Cachalin,

126
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,200
of this baserri, are
decorated with linen.

127
00:10:22,380 --> 00:10:25,880
That was the work of
Izasco, the art director, right?

128
00:10:25,940 --> 00:10:30,580
To give, let's say,
character to each space.

129
00:10:30,860 --> 00:10:36,620
Cachalin's baserri, then, has flax and then
we will see, for example, that in El de

130
00:10:36,621 --> 00:10:42,940
Marichu, more associated, for example,
to the roosters and others, it has corn.

131
00:10:43,180 --> 00:10:43,480
Do you see it?

132
00:10:43,820 --> 00:10:44,820
Look what you've done.

133
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:55,480
Well, here we see the tortuous relationship
that these two young people have, right?

134
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,740
Well, basically, like every other
relationship probably of the time,

135
00:11:00,980 --> 00:11:08,660
I mean, it's not strange at all,
but it's still a... well, it's a bastard.

136
00:11:08,780 --> 00:11:09,480
No problem.

137
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:09,840
Coat.

138
00:11:10,260 --> 00:11:15,080
Yes, it is true that we wanted
Pello's character to not be simply...

139
00:11:15,100 --> 00:11:15,920
A bad man, right?

140
00:11:15,940 --> 00:11:17,560
It's just that it
also had its grays.

141
00:11:19,420 --> 00:11:21,892
Basically, men
throughout history, many,

142
00:11:21,893 --> 00:11:27,360
especially in those times,
Well, they behaved like that.

143
00:11:27,460 --> 00:11:30,245
Well, they have behaved
like this until recently and today

144
00:11:30,246 --> 00:11:33,300
Many people also behave like
that, things are the way they are.

145
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,420
But still, we didn't want him
to be just a bad guy, right?

146
00:11:38,460 --> 00:11:41,000
But, well, he had
his moments when...

147
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,640
Vulnerable ones in which he looks at
Cachalin and really loves her, even though...

148
00:11:45,420 --> 00:11:46,760
Although he
mistreats her, right?

149
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,640
Here we see El
Gusquilorio, right?

150
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:55,150
What is the carlina flower that
protects Basque farmhouses?

151
00:11:55,151 --> 00:11:59,720
from the evil spirits of the
night and outside, right?

152
00:12:00,700 --> 00:12:01,660
So here...

153
00:12:01,661 --> 00:12:05,640
Well, this plan is a small tribute
to Desert Centaurs, conversely.

154
00:12:05,660 --> 00:12:15,000
We called it that because, well, we have that
threshold that separates those two worlds.

155
00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:18,280
In this case, She, even though she is
going towards the darkness of the night,

156
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,340
It is in the night
where the light is, right?

157
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,779
In this case, we had
The baserri that was

158
00:12:25,780 --> 00:12:29,900
dark and the night is
illuminated by the moon.

159
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,820
Well, here begins The
capitular aspect of the movie.

160
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,526
As we see, the
film is composed of

161
00:12:36,527 --> 00:12:40,121
different stories,
by different stories.

162
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,480
The first is Gaueco.

163
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,640
The movie has...

164
00:12:45,100 --> 00:12:47,916
Each story is linked
to a deity or character

165
00:12:47,917 --> 00:12:51,680
which I have always liked a
lot since I was a child, right?

166
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,040
Each one of them.

167
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,280
We have The first is Gaueco,
The next would be Mateo Chistu.

168
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,080
Well, Inguma, sorry.

169
00:12:58,081 --> 00:13:03,420
Then Mateo Chistu and then El Aquelarre
and The world of Akerbelts and witches.

170
00:13:04,020 --> 00:13:05,680
So we started with Gaueco.

171
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,984
Basically, this story
collects in some way

172
00:13:09,985 --> 00:13:13,740
one of the most typical
legends of the Basque Country.

173
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:14,960
And what does he find...

174
00:13:15,100 --> 00:13:21,800
Rhymes in many of their...
Well, In many other cultures, right?

175
00:13:21,801 --> 00:13:24,554
Which is basically that
of someone who enters

176
00:13:24,614 --> 00:13:27,460
where it should not
go, into the night.

177
00:13:28,260 --> 00:13:30,240
Likewise, we have Little
Red Riding Hood, right?

178
00:13:30,300 --> 00:13:35,660
They go into The Forest and The
Wolf or the Story of the Coconut appears.

179
00:13:36,700 --> 00:13:37,620
And so on.

180
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:38,916
In this case we have Gaueco.

181
00:13:38,940 --> 00:13:43,160
Gaueco is the nocturnal
deity par excellence.

182
00:13:44,260 --> 00:13:45,260
What do you know...

183
00:13:46,020 --> 00:13:48,340
Presents like wind in the
middle of the night, right?

184
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:53,740
If someone goes into the darkness,
because as he rightly says, The day is for

185
00:13:53,741 --> 00:13:55,461
those of the day and the
night for those of the night.

186
00:13:55,820 --> 00:13:58,520
If you enter the forest, The story
says that suddenly you start to

187
00:13:58,521 --> 00:14:00,680
hear a whisper
in the wind, right?

188
00:14:00,681 --> 00:14:02,220
Which is what's happening here.

189
00:14:02,900 --> 00:14:06,480
That whisper little by
little turns into a phrase.

190
00:14:08,220 --> 00:14:09,280
Gaue, Gaueco in Zat.

191
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:14,480
And what Gaueco basically says is that,
Well, if you're not from the night, no...

192
00:14:14,481 --> 00:14:15,880
Don't enter our world.

193
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,100
And here, suddenly
we see a shadow.

194
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,340
Which apparently is...

195
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,860
It's Peyo, right?

196
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,799
But, in some way suggested,
what I wanted to give

197
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,380
to understand was that it looks
like it's Peyo, but it's not Peyo.

198
00:14:38,420 --> 00:14:44,300
It is really Gaueco taking the form of a
shadow, since Gaueco, in addition to wind,

199
00:14:44,301 --> 00:14:48,180
It represents all aspects of
the night and the dangers, right?

200
00:14:49,100 --> 00:14:52,228
It represents the cold,
represents the darkness,

201
00:14:52,288 --> 00:14:55,840
represents The Wolf,
the creatures of the night.

202
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:01,900
And in this case,
Gaueco transforms to...

203
00:15:01,901 --> 00:15:05,460
First he gives you The Night's Warning for those
of the night and then he kidnaps you, right?

204
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,520
And you're supposed to
disappear into the darkness forever.

205
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:14,280
In this case, Cachalín's character
has just escaped from Zat.

206
00:15:14,281 --> 00:15:17,060
From the darkness
of your home, right?

207
00:15:17,061 --> 00:15:18,660
From that horrible situation.

208
00:15:18,940 --> 00:15:21,960
And he goes into the
night to try to escape.

209
00:15:23,300 --> 00:15:26,191
Sometimes, in order
to be free, we have to

210
00:15:26,192 --> 00:15:28,740
navigate those personal
darknesses, right?

211
00:15:28,780 --> 00:15:32,921
And here, somehow,
Gaueco, who here too

212
00:15:32,922 --> 00:15:36,440
It is represented as
a tree shadow, right?

213
00:15:36,460 --> 00:15:41,020
It represents all the nocturnal
flora and nocturnal fauna.

214
00:15:41,460 --> 00:15:44,260
What he has done
has been to prevent...

215
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,660
Cachalín to return to the
Vasery in some way, right?

216
00:15:46,661 --> 00:15:52,060
The night itself, in this case, is like protecting
him or telling him not to come back, right?

217
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,960
Somehow to the Vasery.

218
00:15:54,140 --> 00:15:58,137
It has been interposed when
She turns towards the road

219
00:15:58,177 --> 00:16:01,240
where she comes from, Well,
so that it doesn't come back.

220
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,640
And here we see how Gaueco little by little
is transforming into a kind of giant,

221
00:16:05,641 --> 00:16:10,000
of a nocturnal colossus, whose
antlers rhyme with the moon.

222
00:16:11,660 --> 00:16:14,260
I really wanted to show you...
I really wanted to show you...

223
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:14,880
Well, show it like
this because...

224
00:16:14,881 --> 00:16:19,120
Because I've always imagined it
like that, like a titan, like a night king,

225
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,340
who walks in the darkness of the
night watching over his kingdom.

226
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:36,060
However, it takes many forms and in
this case we see how that form of Gaueco

227
00:16:36,061 --> 00:16:40,113
becomes one of the
representatives of the

228
00:16:40,213 --> 00:16:43,340
culture of the movie of the
night, which is The Wolf, right?

229
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:43,520
Yeah.

230
00:16:43,521 --> 00:16:49,880
And here we have another giant... This great
wolf that devours Cachalín with its jaws.

231
00:16:50,020 --> 00:16:54,800
That entire Gaueco block is created
digitally, except The Beginning,

232
00:16:54,940 --> 00:16:58,408
that we had an actor, Elías
García, who is the actor

233
00:16:58,409 --> 00:17:02,240
which represents all
the creatures in the film.

234
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:08,660
At first he was dressed in black
and we digitally added the branches,

235
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:13,660
and then, from the moment
we see the Gaueco, it's digital.

236
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:19,820
And here we move on to the world
of our wonderful ladies, Iñaki Rastorte,

237
00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:26,681
Elena Irureta and Ana
Gavarain, who are mythical,

238
00:17:26,682 --> 00:17:30,980
impressive, unique to
the Basque interpretation.

239
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:39,420
When I wrote The Screenplay I thought of
them directly, because The Character of the

240
00:17:39,421 --> 00:17:41,540
characters for me
were them directly.

241
00:17:41,980 --> 00:17:43,300
And the truth is that...

242
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,240
Well, I didn't cast them,
obviously, but I did test them,

243
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,780
I stayed with the three
of them and Yune.

244
00:17:53,140 --> 00:17:55,000
And just to see the
chemistry a little bit.

245
00:17:55,020 --> 00:17:57,940
I gave them a rundown,
they read it to them...

246
00:17:57,941 --> 00:18:02,500
Well, for example, Elena Irureta arrived without
having turned it on and said "It's just that

247
00:18:02,501 --> 00:18:04,880
"This is written wrong, it's
just that this Basque is wrong.

248
00:18:04,881 --> 00:18:06,120
And I said, "No, no, it's just
that he's the one of the time.

249
00:18:06,121 --> 00:18:07,121
“Oh, okay, okay.”

250
00:18:07,260 --> 00:18:10,257
And I said, "Well,
stay 20 minutes, read

251
00:18:10,258 --> 00:18:13,601
The text, which is
basically this scene.

252
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,760
And then we do a test.

253
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,288
So I went out there for 20
minutes, I let them review

254
00:18:18,289 --> 00:18:23,240
at four and when I
came in they played it.

255
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,780
And the truth is that it was a laugh, I
mean, they were very funny, there was a

256
00:18:27,781 --> 00:18:31,280
very nice chemistry, they are very
sordinchus, They are very witches.

257
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:36,140
And the truth is,
well, it was immediate.

258
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,180
I told them "Well, you
already know the filming dates.

259
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,420
Well, here, as you see, we are in a laundry
room, well, here it still doesn't look very

260
00:18:44,421 --> 00:18:51,220
well, in El contraplane de la senora you can see The
laundry room in the background with the warm light,

261
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,580
this background of trees, there in the
background you see The laundry room, okay?

262
00:18:55,620 --> 00:19:00,320
That laundry is in Letona, in Álava,
and The forest that slightly surrounds this

263
00:19:00,321 --> 00:19:02,739
laundry room, these trees that
you see behind, all of those are

264
00:19:02,779 --> 00:19:05,820
put in decoration, because
there is simply an esplanade.

265
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,442
And this laundry room is a
very nice laundry room that is in

266
00:19:08,443 --> 00:19:12,240
Letona, in Álava, very close
to Vitoria, 15 minutes away.

267
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:17,840
Look, in this plane, at the beginning,
just before taking action, for that kind

268
00:19:17,841 --> 00:19:23,620
As if from a watering hole, a little mouse
passed by, Damn, if we had turned on the engine

269
00:19:23,621 --> 00:19:29,900
A little while before, it already screwed me,
because we would have had a little mouse in plain,

270
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:36,800
another inhabitant of the night that
we could have represented, but oh well.

271
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,300
And nothing, here we have our three
ladies, right? They are in The Laundry.

272
00:19:41,301 --> 00:19:47,440
Well, for me, The Laundry Room
also represents a bit of that space of...

273
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,180
well, historically, for me, and it
has been, right?, that space of

274
00:19:51,181 --> 00:19:56,360
congregation and
freedom for women, right?

275
00:19:56,780 --> 00:20:04,520
Since they were in charge of washing the
clothes, they would gather there and have their

276
00:20:04,521 --> 00:20:07,081
jokes and so on,
and somehow always

277
00:20:07,082 --> 00:20:10,680
I imagined it was a
moment of freedom.

278
00:20:11,300 --> 00:20:16,140
That's because they get together to tell
their stories, to drink their pacharán,

279
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,620
Right? Things that ladies
aren't supposed to do.

280
00:20:20,340 --> 00:20:24,281
And well, here we see them
with their wonderful hats,

281
00:20:24,282 --> 00:20:27,000
It's a piece of work from Nerea
Torrijos, the costume director.

282
00:20:27,300 --> 00:20:30,160
Here, as you see, the
hats have different shapes.

283
00:20:30,460 --> 00:20:35,000
These hats are typical and documented
from that time in the Basque Country.

284
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:42,280
And as you see, for example, Graciana,
Elena, has two points, Iñaki has one.

285
00:20:43,180 --> 00:20:46,463
That's because it's assumed
that if you were married

286
00:20:46,464 --> 00:20:49,420
twice, because you
had to carry two tips.

287
00:20:49,460 --> 00:20:51,780
And if you had been
married once, one.

288
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,780
And if you don't have any,
then you haven't gotten married.

289
00:20:53,900 --> 00:20:57,240
Well, somehow he had his code.

290
00:20:57,460 --> 00:21:00,218
In the case of Beltra,
because it is the sorera of the

291
00:21:00,219 --> 00:21:02,900
village priest, then it
doesn't have the tip.

292
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:11,900
And well, we did give it our own
interpretation, especially in the face of

293
00:21:11,901 --> 00:21:16,145
to build the characters,
because that locker room

294
00:21:16,146 --> 00:21:20,380
It also represents The
character of each character.

295
00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:25,302
Elena is a bit of the boss,
Iñaki is like the sharpest and

296
00:21:25,362 --> 00:21:30,300
a little more bastard,
and Ana is a bit like Maja.

297
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:35,360
They are a bit like the three
Fairies of the Sleeping Beauty.

298
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,588
In fact, it doesn't look very
good here, but because

299
00:21:39,589 --> 00:21:43,000
They wear those shawls,
but each one is a color.

300
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,280
They are red, blue and green.

301
00:21:48,700 --> 00:21:51,960
And well, the truth is that they
are three wonderful characters.

302
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:56,960
For me they also represent a bit of
that Triad, which are represented in the

303
00:21:56,961 --> 00:22:03,780
witchcraft of Hecate, the thrice
great, the triple deity of witchcraft.

304
00:22:04,020 --> 00:22:08,080
And well, it's a bit like that, as if
they were also the Fates, the Fates,

305
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,655
the sisters of destiny,
that will help in some way

306
00:22:11,656 --> 00:22:18,440
to Cachalín to weave
his destiny until freedom.

307
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,960
Well, and this laundry room scene, It
seems not, but it was one of the scenes

308
00:22:23,961 --> 00:22:27,672
more complicated to roll,
because there are three scenes

309
00:22:27,673 --> 00:22:32,180
of the laundry room in the
movie and we shot it in two days.

310
00:22:33,050 --> 00:22:33,780
It was crazy.

311
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:38,520
Well, the movie was shot
in five and a half weeks.

312
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:39,760
I mean, it's crazy.

313
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,180
It's crazy, but hey, you know
how the industry works here.

314
00:22:45,140 --> 00:22:48,140
And well, if we want to do it,
We have to do it as best we can.

315
00:22:48,620 --> 00:22:53,260
And thanks to that team that gave
their all, we were able to pull it off.

316
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,560
This basherry that we see here
is a basherry that is in Orozco.

317
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:57,640
It's very pretty.

318
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:02,140
It is also one of the
oldest in Euskal Herria.

319
00:23:02,260 --> 00:23:05,345
Well, the exterior is that
basherry that I tell you about

320
00:23:05,346 --> 00:23:09,600
Orozco, but this interior
was filmed in another station.

321
00:23:09,601 --> 00:23:13,540
It is a ranch in Higar Porqueti, of
that first basherry that I told you about

322
00:23:13,541 --> 00:23:18,820
where Cider was made, where
we have seen the Kachalin cuisine.

323
00:23:19,100 --> 00:23:22,200
Well this is Basherry
himself, but in another room.

324
00:23:22,340 --> 00:23:24,220
And these are the argisaiolas.

325
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:32,040
The argisaiolas are those wooden carvings
with a coiled candle that represent The

326
00:23:32,041 --> 00:23:35,420
soul of the dead and which
was taken to the church.

327
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:40,020
Each family had its argisaiola
and they took it to church for some

328
00:23:40,021 --> 00:23:50,000
way to guide the spirit of the dead to La
Paz or that they were on the other side,

329
00:23:50,140 --> 00:23:51,920
in The other world with peace.

330
00:23:52,140 --> 00:23:58,220
In fact, in the basherrys the
dead were formerly buried in El own

331
00:23:58,221 --> 00:24:04,039
basherry and somehow
the spirits of the

332
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:09,200
Ancestors stayed as
protectors of the house.

333
00:24:10,260 --> 00:24:17,220
Except if you did something they didn't
like, which is what we see happening here.

334
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,320
Here we have Marichu,
Anchón, to Eugenio and Mateo.

335
00:24:21,380 --> 00:24:23,595
And here we have poor
Marichu, there is something

336
00:24:23,596 --> 00:24:25,640
that is strangling
him in some way.

337
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,602
Those grooves that
appear on his neck are made

338
00:24:29,603 --> 00:24:33,900
digitally, but we also
did it with special effects.

339
00:24:33,901 --> 00:24:38,280
Nacho Díaz worked
on a neck based on...

340
00:24:38,281 --> 00:24:43,962
Well, they took a mold from
Erika or Laizola and made

341
00:24:43,963 --> 00:24:47,500
a system so that fingers
could be marked with pressure.

342
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:48,700
What we did was shoot it.

343
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:55,160
First Erika rolled, then she took off
Erika, we played The Neck and then

344
00:24:55,161 --> 00:24:59,240
We shot with the same lighting and
digitally they then took advantage of the

345
00:24:59,241 --> 00:25:02,520
fingers to digitally
insert it onto Her.

346
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,360
Well, here we see The
Heart with the Needles.

347
00:25:07,380 --> 00:25:07,900
This is...

348
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:15,740
Well, the film is a theme of Basque witchcraft
and El opo da pa este que canta o que

349
00:25:15,741 --> 00:25:21,560
Sterchi says they are things
collected by They will rail.

350
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:27,440
Barandiarán was an anthropologist priest of
the Basque Country, which is very well known,

351
00:25:27,500 --> 00:25:36,340
who is one of the people to whom we
owe having so many myths recorded,

352
00:25:36,341 --> 00:25:42,100
because at the beginning of the 20th century he
went from town to town collecting all kinds of

353
00:25:42,101 --> 00:25:45,500
stories, mythology,
witchcraft and so on.

354
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,840
And well, it has a few more, a
more telluric mythology, let's say,

355
00:25:50,860 --> 00:25:57,121
more linked to nature, as well, I
already represented in Irati, right?

356
00:25:57,540 --> 00:26:04,220
But here, in this film, you find a
lot of phrases, of things that happen

357
00:26:04,221 --> 00:26:07,800
linked to witchcraft, to the
witchcraft that Barandiarán collected.

358
00:26:07,820 --> 00:26:12,320
For example, the thing about the heart
with the needles, that is recorded, right?

359
00:26:12,340 --> 00:26:19,780
In order to expel demons and witches,
The heart of a black rooster was used.

360
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:26,380
And the opodapamapa is a communication
system that they say was one of the

361
00:26:26,381 --> 00:26:32,800
witches, and what they did was, after
each syllable, insert a papepipopú, right?

362
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,080
If it's hello, it would
be hello, oppo, limpet.

363
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:44,460
So, well, it would be in Basque, Of
course, kaisho, well, kaipa, shopo, right?

364
00:26:44,540 --> 00:26:51,881
And so, that's kind of like the
witches' encrypted system of speaking.

365
00:26:52,620 --> 00:26:58,380
Surely, as we all already know,
well, especially the majority, in

366
00:26:58,381 --> 00:27:02,140
At first, or all the people who were
tried as witches, were not witches.

367
00:27:02,220 --> 00:27:04,000
That's something the
inquisitors invented.

368
00:27:04,001 --> 00:27:10,203
It is an excuse that they pulled out
of their sleeve to be able to repress

369
00:27:10,204 --> 00:27:17,180
certain areas for political
and other economic interests.

370
00:27:17,420 --> 00:27:22,440
Well, surely the people
who used that code to speak,

371
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:27,100
Well, they did it simply to
hide information or whatever.

372
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:34,180
Well, here we meet Marichu
and Kachalin, who represent,

373
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,106
In some way, those two
women that I mentioned to you

374
00:27:38,107 --> 00:27:42,100
before, that in The century
XV were judged, right?

375
00:27:44,300 --> 00:27:46,320
And he says they
will go to Bayonne.

376
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:47,880
Bayona is like...

377
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,760
This would be the Zugarramurdi
area, which is the Xareta area.

378
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:58,020
The Basque language in the film is based
on The Basque language there, contrasted

379
00:27:58,021 --> 00:28:01,680
by The Work of the
Magnificent Gorka Laskano.

380
00:28:01,681 --> 00:28:10,420
And, well, in principle we talk about Urdax,
of Urdazubi, there is talk of Fray León del

381
00:28:10,421 --> 00:28:16,660
Aníbar... There are many winks, although it is
not totally evident, there are many winks to

382
00:28:16,661 --> 00:28:24,320
link it to what happened in Zugarramurdi,
with everything The issue of the process

383
00:28:24,321 --> 00:28:27,980
from Logroño, which is one
of the darkest episodes that...

384
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,069
A very dark episode of
the darkest in Logroño,

385
00:28:31,070 --> 00:28:33,240
one of the darkest we
have in Euskal Herria.

386
00:28:35,180 --> 00:28:41,980
And here we see Sterchi, the magnificent
Elena Uriz, wonderful, I worked with her

387
00:28:41,981 --> 00:28:49,240
in Irati, who played Lusha, and here he
plays Sterchi, from that wonderful witch.

388
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,720
And we have seen her limp.

389
00:28:52,580 --> 00:28:55,760
That is also linked to a story.

390
00:28:57,420 --> 00:29:01,020
As you can see, there are ears
of corn throughout El baserri.

391
00:29:01,021 --> 00:29:06,960
What I was talking about was
linking spaces to different elements.

392
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,980
Also, if you look, in The Interior
there are a lot of corncobs and so on.

393
00:29:12,100 --> 00:29:18,500
That was what Izaas
Kunurkiho did, Arto's director.

394
00:29:22,710 --> 00:29:28,730
Those grooves on the neck,
as I tell you, They are real.

395
00:29:29,690 --> 00:29:32,050
They are made
with a physical effect.

396
00:29:32,051 --> 00:29:38,910
Which was then digitally
embedded in The Plane.

397
00:29:41,670 --> 00:29:44,530
You... you are guilty.

398
00:29:44,550 --> 00:29:45,830
Here, this was impressive.

399
00:29:46,310 --> 00:29:49,570
Erika made that
brutal possession there.

400
00:29:49,730 --> 00:29:52,190
Those veins that
come out there are his.

401
00:29:52,370 --> 00:29:52,870
Out!

402
00:29:53,250 --> 00:29:57,950
And the truth is that Erika is
a sweetheart, It's super Maja.

403
00:29:59,230 --> 00:30:01,210
And you saw her there possessed.

404
00:30:01,950 --> 00:30:02,030
Out!

405
00:30:02,050 --> 00:30:04,010
Turned into a monster.

406
00:30:04,050 --> 00:30:05,870
He did amazing.

407
00:30:06,110 --> 00:30:07,050
Marichu, it's me!

408
00:30:07,130 --> 00:30:07,550
Out!

409
00:30:07,730 --> 00:30:14,390
You have seen that feathers
appeared from the pillow.

410
00:30:14,450 --> 00:30:20,290
That is also linked to a character
from Basque mythology who is Gaiskin.

411
00:30:20,490 --> 00:30:24,665
In the film we are talking
about Inguma, who is a

412
00:30:24,666 --> 00:30:30,390
demon linked to terrors
and nocturnal death.

413
00:30:30,430 --> 00:30:31,910
When you die... When...

414
00:30:32,050 --> 00:30:35,770
When you're in bed, well Inguma
has appeared, he is a demon,

415
00:30:35,771 --> 00:30:44,090
an evil, spiteful spirit, that what
it does is strangle you and if you

416
00:30:44,091 --> 00:30:50,890
You wake up with a bad throat or
die in your sleep, it was Inguma's fault.

417
00:30:51,150 --> 00:30:53,030
But, on the other hand,
there are other deities as well.

418
00:30:53,210 --> 00:30:54,873
To Inguma, for example,
is represented as

419
00:30:54,874 --> 00:30:56,890
demon, but also sometimes
shaped like a rooster.

420
00:30:56,910 --> 00:31:02,390
And there is another deity, which is Gaiskin,
that is linked to the... to the disease.

421
00:31:03,050 --> 00:31:05,442
And if there is a person
who is sick, one thing

422
00:31:05,443 --> 00:31:08,890
What you have to do is
empty the feather pillow.

423
00:31:08,930 --> 00:31:13,208
And if the feathers are shaped
like a rooster, it is because it is

424
00:31:13,209 --> 00:31:17,790
Gaiskin, who is a
deity linked to illness.

425
00:31:17,970 --> 00:31:20,270
Look, he's giving him
a drink from a cowbell.

426
00:31:20,350 --> 00:31:23,890
That's also part of folklore.

427
00:31:23,990 --> 00:31:27,310
It was assumed that, well, since
the cowbells were somehow sanctified

428
00:31:27,311 --> 00:31:32,930
way, or they were sanctified, they
had to drink from... a cowbell to be cured.

429
00:31:35,550 --> 00:31:41,850
This part, this room, is the
upper part of Higar Porqueti.

430
00:31:42,030 --> 00:31:47,110
Although we are in El baserri
de Kachali... from Marichu, sorry.

431
00:31:48,250 --> 00:31:55,050
We are in... The filming was in
Higar Tengaiti, The winery baserri.

432
00:32:03,530 --> 00:32:05,530
And what you see
here is a sawmill.

433
00:32:06,430 --> 00:32:09,570
Super nice, what we
found in Guipuzcoa.

434
00:32:12,250 --> 00:32:15,010
Which, well, as you can
see, it's already incredible.

435
00:32:15,090 --> 00:32:18,370
It is the magic house
of the witch, right?

436
00:32:21,050 --> 00:32:23,050
With his smoking cauldron.

437
00:32:30,190 --> 00:32:32,670
And well, here it is Elena.

438
00:32:33,570 --> 00:32:35,410
I asked you to smoke, right?

439
00:32:37,070 --> 00:32:38,350
And She had smoked...

440
00:32:38,450 --> 00:32:41,270
I hadn't smoked for
about 20 years or so.

441
00:32:41,530 --> 00:32:45,770
And well, we made him a
nicotine-free cigarette there.

442
00:32:46,730 --> 00:32:51,350
But I really wanted to play
this character like that, right?

443
00:32:51,670 --> 00:32:55,610
I think it gave him a
very powerful character.

444
00:32:55,850 --> 00:32:59,330
The evil spirit is tormenting
your sister, Marichu.

445
00:32:59,430 --> 00:33:00,110
I know.

446
00:33:00,390 --> 00:33:04,310
Elena also did an impressive
job here with her voice.

447
00:33:04,970 --> 00:33:09,031
So that Sterchi had
that voice so... Ambrota.

448
00:33:10,350 --> 00:33:11,650
Grandfather in Guma.

449
00:33:12,490 --> 00:33:13,490
A year ago.

450
00:33:13,690 --> 00:33:17,670
And your grandfather might
be mad at Ella for some reason.

451
00:33:18,630 --> 00:33:19,710
It could be, right?

452
00:33:19,850 --> 00:33:23,610
I could be mad at Ella
for something and...

453
00:33:23,611 --> 00:33:28,750
And many times, well, that type
of love within the family, well...

454
00:33:29,750 --> 00:33:32,110
They can be terrible
and dark, right?

455
00:33:32,190 --> 00:33:37,330
Somehow, in Guma, although
mythology represents a simply...

456
00:33:37,331 --> 00:33:39,790
Well, it's simply
death that night.

457
00:33:40,410 --> 00:33:45,790
It's a spirit that enters
the hamlets, right?

458
00:33:45,810 --> 00:33:46,470
In the houses.

459
00:33:46,490 --> 00:33:49,610
It's a... let's say, in
a way, an Aideko.

460
00:33:49,710 --> 00:33:53,070
Those spirits that I told you
about the ancestors, right?

461
00:33:53,090 --> 00:33:55,970
Which are also linked to the
Arquistaiolas that you see here.

462
00:33:57,670 --> 00:34:03,811
When they stayed in the baserris and protected
the baserris, they were Aidekos or Echejaun.

463
00:34:03,890 --> 00:34:07,310
And I've played that a little bit in Guma,
in some ways, it is a correct Echejaun.

464
00:34:07,330 --> 00:34:13,270
Look, what he does here with The theme of
covering the candle and uncovering it to discover

465
00:34:13,271 --> 00:34:22,830
An evil spirit is another element of
folklore that Barandieran collected.

466
00:34:22,950 --> 00:34:25,550
And here, in some way, this
guy is giving the instructions.

467
00:34:25,970 --> 00:34:36,190
Throw away the rotten corn, cover and uncover
the candle, the heart thing with the needles.

468
00:34:36,191 --> 00:34:38,650
to uncover that evil spirit.

469
00:34:38,950 --> 00:34:45,250
And here it says that after uncovering
it you have to sing, let's say, this poem.

470
00:34:45,990 --> 00:34:54,250
Enguma no kirei su, gawa riartendia
lagun, seruanize, costanare, laranvelar,

471
00:34:54,930 --> 00:34:56,990
Oyek denak sema torte,
zaitese la nigana tager.

472
00:34:57,150 --> 00:35:00,942
What is basically this
connection of beings?

473
00:35:00,943 --> 00:35:04,050
evil to the greed that
vampires sometimes have.

474
00:35:04,270 --> 00:35:06,170
I also showed it in The Book.

475
00:35:06,190 --> 00:35:08,550
In El reventario, with
The theme of chickpeas.

476
00:35:08,750 --> 00:35:14,710
The quintessential character in this
sense, in Basque mythology, is Enguma.

477
00:35:14,850 --> 00:35:18,536
He is forced, he is ordered
to count the stars of the

478
00:35:18,537 --> 00:35:22,530
sky, the stones of the
coast, the herbs of the field...

479
00:35:22,531 --> 00:35:26,850
so that it is entertained until the sun
rises and then it dies or disappears.

480
00:35:27,410 --> 00:35:32,990
You tell him not to appear
before me until you tell all that.

481
00:35:33,990 --> 00:35:36,090
And here we see that system.

482
00:35:36,091 --> 00:35:41,990
The system that Barandiaran records
to discover evil creatures or spirits.

483
00:35:42,050 --> 00:35:44,270
And here is Elijah.

484
00:35:44,830 --> 00:35:49,846
As I mentioned before, Elijah
appeared at the beginning of the

485
00:35:49,886 --> 00:35:54,490
Bosque as gabueco,
but also played Enguma.

486
00:35:55,610 --> 00:35:59,088
What I wanted was
for it to be a kind of

487
00:35:59,089 --> 00:36:06,070
Decrepit rotting old man
with Erasmus features.

488
00:36:06,071 --> 00:36:06,530
From the rooster, right?

489
00:36:06,550 --> 00:36:07,570
Of the evil rooster.

490
00:36:07,770 --> 00:36:10,810
And well, there we
designed the creature.

491
00:36:11,370 --> 00:36:13,950
Nacho had an incredible job.

492
00:36:13,990 --> 00:36:15,890
The truth is that the
sculpture is beautiful.

493
00:36:16,350 --> 00:36:22,330
And it was a bit like linking him to that
representation of Enguma as a rooster,

494
00:36:22,331 --> 00:36:26,190
but also somehow
linked to Gaiskin as well.

495
00:36:26,830 --> 00:36:31,450
As you said, to
another deity of illness.

496
00:36:31,670 --> 00:36:35,250
A very nice detail of
this scene with The angel.

497
00:36:35,251 --> 00:36:36,050
A very nice detail of
this scene with The angel.

498
00:36:36,070 --> 00:36:40,190
One part is that, if you look,
Under the bed there is a scythe,

499
00:36:41,630 --> 00:36:44,750
that this was sometimes put
as protection against death.

500
00:36:46,250 --> 00:36:47,290
It's paradoxical.

501
00:36:47,690 --> 00:36:55,410
Here we see how Enguma reacts
to rotten corn, as he also comments...

502
00:36:55,411 --> 00:36:57,650
we have it in our culture.

503
00:36:57,810 --> 00:36:59,930
And here the song begins.

504
00:37:00,490 --> 00:37:05,885
In order to have Enguma on top of
Marichu, we made a system with a bed.

505
00:37:05,886 --> 00:37:06,290
..

506
00:37:06,291 --> 00:37:07,291
we had two systems.

507
00:37:07,410 --> 00:37:10,241
One in Him who
had false legs and He

508
00:37:10,341 --> 00:37:13,050
Marichu's body,
Erika, was below.

509
00:37:13,290 --> 00:37:17,341
And there was another
who had a kind of armor of

510
00:37:17,342 --> 00:37:20,110
metal in His chest
so that Elías could...

511
00:37:20,530 --> 00:37:21,650
There's the scythe.

512
00:37:21,770 --> 00:37:23,950
So that Elías could get on top.

513
00:37:26,470 --> 00:37:31,490
Elías always said that it was very
important for him to be up there.

514
00:37:32,970 --> 00:37:37,670
And the truth is that the voice that
you have seen of Elijah is his voice.

515
00:37:37,770 --> 00:37:40,810
It is distorted by sound.

516
00:37:40,990 --> 00:37:43,650
The film has an
incredible sound process.

517
00:37:44,250 --> 00:37:48,110
By Josue González,
from Noise Studios.

518
00:37:48,470 --> 00:37:51,881
And in this case we have
the voice of Elías a little

519
00:37:51,882 --> 00:37:54,970
distorted, but now
Elías has that big voice.

520
00:37:55,070 --> 00:37:56,090
It's a machine.

521
00:37:56,690 --> 00:38:03,510
And here we see a little of that representation that
I told you about the feathers, that as they fall

522
00:38:03,511 --> 00:38:06,730
feathers, somehow
linked to that disease.

523
00:38:06,950 --> 00:38:11,690
And in the background here, with this Nguma,
what I wanted to represent was a little

524
00:38:11,691 --> 00:38:16,630
that inheritance, that
rancid thought, traditional.

525
00:38:16,950 --> 00:38:19,590
The weight of the family.

526
00:38:21,610 --> 00:38:28,410
Marichu is a lesbian,
or she loves Cachalin.

527
00:38:28,411 --> 00:38:34,030
And let's say that your ancestors,
the cavernous darkness of their

528
00:38:34,031 --> 00:38:39,530
ancestors, even
dead, harass Marichu.

529
00:38:40,370 --> 00:38:46,350
And here we see how The Sun
appears and then catches Nguma burning.

530
00:38:48,770 --> 00:38:51,670
We see there The rainbow
with the colors of the collective.

531
00:38:52,610 --> 00:38:55,990
The truth is that it came
naturally, so it looks very nice.

532
00:38:56,810 --> 00:38:57,810
AND...

533
00:39:00,270 --> 00:39:07,625
And well, here we have
our priest, Mateo, Mateo

534
00:39:07,626 --> 00:39:11,390
Chistu, another great
character in Basque mythology.

535
00:39:11,450 --> 00:39:15,777
In this case, played by
The Great Manes Fuchs,

536
00:39:15,778 --> 00:39:19,150
Well, it was a
surprise and a wonder.

537
00:39:19,890 --> 00:39:26,350
We did a casting, they gave me their tests and
well, the look on their face is incredible.

538
00:39:27,370 --> 00:39:31,518
For example, when I was
talking to him, we talked about how

539
00:39:31,519 --> 00:39:36,830
He was like some kind of
Nazi sergeant general, right?

540
00:39:37,790 --> 00:39:41,950
And the truth is that it has
that point, I could perfectly do it.

541
00:39:42,090 --> 00:39:46,330
Then he is wonderful, He is
very majestic and he is very good

542
00:39:46,331 --> 00:39:49,771
actor, that's why he can
make this character so dark.

543
00:39:50,110 --> 00:39:51,850
This church is...

544
00:39:54,230 --> 00:39:58,270
The Monastery of the Golden
Sanctuary, which is near Murguía.

545
00:39:59,170 --> 00:40:03,253
Well, in the Valley of
Murguía, close to Gasteiz, and

546
00:40:03,254 --> 00:40:07,530
It is a spectacular place,
with a very cool energy.

547
00:40:07,750 --> 00:40:13,550
And the truth is that it is very difficult
for them to let us film in churches.

548
00:40:13,551 --> 00:40:20,150
And in this case, The Parish Priest, who
was a great expert on Basque mythology,

549
00:40:20,151 --> 00:40:26,930
He was very excited and he understood
that in the end what we, by representing

550
00:40:26,931 --> 00:40:31,490
These stories, in which the
church often has a lot of presence,

551
00:40:32,490 --> 00:40:38,562
sometimes as The
factor that combats Evil,

552
00:40:38,563 --> 00:40:43,790
darkness, the monstrous,
and other times vice versa.

553
00:40:43,791 --> 00:40:47,050
Other times it is the
reason why the deities

554
00:40:47,051 --> 00:40:49,471
pagan traditions linked
to nature disappear.

555
00:40:50,060 --> 00:40:55,960
And in that sense, Carlos, the priest of
the monastery, understood it perfectly.

556
00:40:56,040 --> 00:41:01,740
What's more, he has written a book on
Basque mythology in the Gorbea area.

557
00:41:02,020 --> 00:41:07,100
And well, I remember that he had read
The Script and he told me, Mateo, chistu,

558
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,920
If this story already, I don't know what,
we have a version here too and such.

559
00:41:11,060 --> 00:41:14,846
And well, the truth is that it
was a pleasure to have him

560
00:41:14,847 --> 00:41:19,000
as a partner and to be
able to film in that big church.

561
00:41:19,620 --> 00:41:20,680
So pretty, right?

562
00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:23,500
Here we return to
the laundry room.

563
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:28,680
Already, as I told you, the film
was shot in five and a half weeks.

564
00:41:30,820 --> 00:41:32,500
This was a very humid area.

565
00:41:32,660 --> 00:41:35,302
We had problems with the lenses
because they got wet and it was

566
00:41:35,303 --> 00:41:42,300
incredibly cold because we
shot it at the beginning of the year.

567
00:41:42,460 --> 00:41:45,820
I mean, we shot
it in pure winter.

568
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,040
And the truth is
that it was very cold.

569
00:41:49,041 --> 00:41:52,160
And here it was...
it was very humid.

570
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,380
And we shot that in
five and a half weeks.

571
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,180
This scene was shot in two days.

572
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:03,640
And although it seems like it's nonsense, The
Roof and Others is real and it's a bit of a hole.

573
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:08,620
And putting all the camera machinery
and so on there, it was complicated.

574
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,255
But hey, we made it
because I have a team

575
00:42:12,256 --> 00:42:16,780
impressive and I had
some fabulous actresses.

576
00:42:16,781 --> 00:42:20,420
He was a proud and
deeply hypocritical man.

577
00:42:20,780 --> 00:42:29,320
And here we go with Beltra, who
begins The Story of Mateo Chistú.

578
00:42:29,460 --> 00:42:33,464
Mateo Chistú is another of
the characters of the night or of

579
00:42:33,465 --> 00:42:37,380
the most famous horror
stories of Euskal Herria.

580
00:42:37,720 --> 00:42:43,360
Which was this priest
obsessed with hunting.

581
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,760
That what history
tells you is...

582
00:42:46,780 --> 00:42:53,620
that one day while hunting he found
a rabbit, a hare, which was really a

583
00:42:53,621 --> 00:42:58,260
demon or a witch
or the devil, right?

584
00:42:58,580 --> 00:43:04,120
And then he became obsessed with that hare
that he was unable to hunt until one day

585
00:43:04,121 --> 00:43:06,796
He appeared to him in the middle
of mass and then he left the mass

586
00:43:06,876 --> 00:43:13,360
going out after the hare,
Leaving the mass halfway, right?

587
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,020
And he came out...
he got lost in the forest.

588
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:16,080
And it is said that...

589
00:43:16,740 --> 00:43:20,762
that if one day you are The
forest and you get lost, you hear

590
00:43:20,763 --> 00:43:23,560
sometimes the whistles of
the hunter, of the hunting priest.

591
00:43:25,300 --> 00:43:31,040
This is a necropolis that is in
Arguiñeta, next to the orrio, in Vizcaya,

592
00:43:31,220 --> 00:43:34,394
very pretty, where do
you find those stelae

593
00:43:34,474 --> 00:43:37,620
discoídals so typical of
the Basque Country, right?

594
00:43:37,720 --> 00:43:40,940
Those carved stone tombs.

595
00:43:41,180 --> 00:43:43,520
Sometimes they represent
crosses, sometimes they represent...

596
00:43:44,140 --> 00:43:45,700
well, symbology...

597
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,300
nature or family
names and so on.

598
00:43:49,460 --> 00:43:58,060
In this case, well, in this
necropolis there are like four...

599
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:02,560
Yes, there are those large tombs
on the sides, those stone tombs, yes.

600
00:44:02,561 --> 00:44:08,180
that they are, but then the discoid
steles that there are are very few and

601
00:44:08,181 --> 00:44:11,600
perhaps with Urquijo art architecture
filled the rest of the cemetery.

602
00:44:11,720 --> 00:44:13,500
How expensive omnis, Beniet.

603
00:44:17,500 --> 00:44:28,500
Here we see that when someone
died they took animals to the funerals.

604
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,954
That is, there is a person with
a chicken and another person

605
00:44:31,955 --> 00:44:34,620
with a ram and it was
something very typical of the time.

606
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:42,640
Another thing that happens a lot in many
stories is that moment in which there is like

607
00:44:42,641 --> 00:44:49,300
a boundary in which witches or
witches or linked characters, let's say,

608
00:44:49,460 --> 00:44:54,513
At another age, in the other world,
they cannot access those places,

609
00:44:54,553 --> 00:44:59,700
in quotes, sacred, which
is The case of Esterchi.

610
00:45:04,610 --> 00:45:07,230
Here we see our Mateo...

611
00:45:09,550 --> 00:45:13,970
polishing his shotgun,
su valor más preciado.

612
00:45:13,971 --> 00:45:23,590
According to him, Man has received that Gift
of God, being able to hunt the rest of the

613
00:45:23,591 --> 00:45:31,410
species or creatures of the
world, giving him that superiority.

614
00:45:32,030 --> 00:45:35,150
And there is Mateo's pride.

615
00:45:38,670 --> 00:45:44,450
That dish you see there is a
quail with apples and plums.

616
00:45:44,451 --> 00:45:52,030
It is a very typical recipe from the area,
very classic, especially from that time.

617
00:45:55,150 --> 00:46:00,630
If you look, there are a lot of candles
here, but in El Vasheri we couldn't

618
00:46:00,631 --> 00:46:04,930
putting the candles precisely
because... as I told you, it was a museum.

619
00:46:09,630 --> 00:46:14,030
And here we have...
again this is the church of...

620
00:46:14,450 --> 00:46:15,850
of the Golden Monastery.

621
00:46:18,050 --> 00:46:21,610
Here you see the
lashes that appear.

622
00:46:21,810 --> 00:46:23,050
What is done is...

623
00:46:23,670 --> 00:46:28,490
they apply the lashes with some transfers,
that is, the makeup, they put it on.

624
00:46:30,130 --> 00:46:35,850
And then, well, the actor flagellates
himself over those wounds and what we do is

625
00:46:35,851 --> 00:46:39,150
digitally delete them at the
beginning and have them appear.

626
00:46:39,630 --> 00:46:41,630
It's like a little bit
the other way around.

627
00:46:44,450 --> 00:46:47,770
And free me from this unbearable
weight with The one who...

628
00:46:47,771 --> 00:46:53,550
Here you see Mateo's hair, that calota
or that tonsure that the priests wore,

629
00:46:54,270 --> 00:46:57,230
which later we will also see
that in this film women have it.

630
00:46:57,490 --> 00:46:59,530
Well, before we saw
that he wore it Marichu.

631
00:47:01,390 --> 00:47:04,611
Well, historically
men's hair was shaved.

632
00:47:04,612 --> 00:47:07,531
the women who had
not yet married, right?

633
00:47:08,950 --> 00:47:17,210
Well, I know why, like in many
other cultures, long hair is temptation.

634
00:47:17,211 --> 00:47:19,910
and so on and so on, then the
young women's hair was shaved.

635
00:47:20,290 --> 00:47:26,790
In order to have this effect, both in
Mateo as in Marichu, what we did was

636
00:47:26,791 --> 00:47:30,390
like some kind of
hats with their own hair.

637
00:47:31,010 --> 00:47:34,790
They already had their hair cut like
this, except the shaved crown, and what is

638
00:47:34,791 --> 00:47:38,450
What he did was put on a kind of
hat with hair, like a kind of donus that

639
00:47:38,451 --> 00:47:45,270
He had a small skin prosthesis
right on the crown of his head.

640
00:47:45,570 --> 00:47:54,870
And the truth is that it is a great job
from the impressive hair and makeup team.

641
00:47:54,970 --> 00:47:57,810
The truth is that
it was a great job.

642
00:47:59,250 --> 00:48:05,870
Like Paty and Paco, along with Nacho, Well,
they worked on it and it turned out incredible.

643
00:48:07,230 --> 00:48:13,610
Well, and here we see how
our Mateo, our hunter meets both

644
00:48:13,611 --> 00:48:19,970
Girls, what they simply do is have a
good time and be calm about their behavior.

645
00:48:20,570 --> 00:48:24,130
Do you see the light that appears
right there behind June's head?

646
00:48:24,450 --> 00:48:25,450
Do you see the sun?

647
00:48:26,290 --> 00:48:30,210
He just appeared when we
were going to shoot The Plane.

648
00:48:30,510 --> 00:48:33,270
And the truth is that it was one of those
gifts that nature sometimes gives you, right?

649
00:48:33,330 --> 00:48:40,210
Suddenly seeing that The character
who is so oppressed in the story of the

650
00:48:40,211 --> 00:48:44,470
movie, right in the scene in which he is
happy, The sun appears to him almost as if

651
00:48:44,471 --> 00:48:46,810
was a kind of holy halo, right?

652
00:48:46,850 --> 00:48:49,590
That was a very nice gift.

653
00:48:50,750 --> 00:48:55,710
This location that you see, well,
You see the trick there, right?

654
00:48:55,750 --> 00:48:58,890
Marichu's neck
with his sideburns.

655
00:48:58,990 --> 00:49:03,010
That type of cut is
typical of the time.

656
00:49:03,250 --> 00:49:05,450
Do you see there that he
has a shaved head and so on?

657
00:49:05,750 --> 00:49:10,730
Well, the sideburns were his, and
The cut, the bangs and so on, were his.

658
00:49:11,050 --> 00:49:12,470
The cachalín too, obviously.

659
00:49:12,830 --> 00:49:18,390
But the above, right?, from Marichu, That
was the prosthesis, which He himself had

660
00:49:18,391 --> 00:49:20,370
hair color and so on, which
blended together very well.

661
00:49:21,790 --> 00:49:27,430
And well, here, as I told you, this
location of pollarded outskirts is...

662
00:49:29,650 --> 00:49:30,590
This is Albertia.

663
00:49:30,670 --> 00:49:32,870
This is in Álava,
next to Legutiano.

664
00:49:33,370 --> 00:49:37,030
It is an area full of trenches,
because, well, the civil war.

665
00:49:37,630 --> 00:49:39,510
And there are several...

666
00:49:43,570 --> 00:49:47,110
Statues in honor
of the republicans.

667
00:49:47,290 --> 00:49:48,750
We will dress up as men.

668
00:49:49,230 --> 00:49:51,770
You grab Pello's clothes
and I'll grab them for him.

669
00:49:51,830 --> 00:49:57,890
And this is when he tells them
to dress as men, referring to that

670
00:49:57,891 --> 00:50:01,391
moment that we have
seen at the beginning, in

671
00:50:01,392 --> 00:50:05,310
that cachalín dresses
in Pello's clothes.

672
00:50:05,410 --> 00:50:10,870
And this is where he gets
the idea to... To poison Pello.

673
00:50:11,250 --> 00:50:14,237
The film, you see,
which is structured as a

674
00:50:14,238 --> 00:50:17,091
Russian doll, where there
are stories within stories.

675
00:50:17,590 --> 00:50:20,395
Where the truths, we
don't know if they are totally

676
00:50:20,396 --> 00:50:23,290
truths or are part of
what someone is telling.

677
00:50:23,510 --> 00:50:27,550
But if we put them at a chronological
level, This would be the first scene of all.

678
00:50:28,570 --> 00:50:34,830
At the level of narrative and chronological
event, It would be the first scene.

679
00:50:34,831 --> 00:50:42,150
And I really wanted to play with
structuring the story with short stories,

680
00:50:42,151 --> 00:50:45,996
disordering it
chronologically, a little too

681
00:50:45,997 --> 00:50:51,890
referring to that
storytelling tradition.

682
00:50:52,090 --> 00:50:56,512
Sometimes those stories
are told around the fire

683
00:50:56,513 --> 00:51:00,250
and other times around the
laundry room, which is the case.

684
00:51:02,330 --> 00:51:07,510
That trunk you see behind... with
Licken and so on, he was there.

685
00:51:07,610 --> 00:51:09,450
Then they did decorate
it with more leaves.

686
00:51:10,050 --> 00:51:15,570
All these little leaves that you see in
the foreground and so on are props.

687
00:51:23,140 --> 00:51:26,580
And well, here is the
precious moment of the movie.

688
00:51:38,110 --> 00:51:41,450
Where we discover that
they are lovers or a couple.

689
00:51:43,210 --> 00:51:45,950
And for me it was
very important...

690
00:51:47,590 --> 00:51:52,890
The film is obviously about
sexual freedom as well, because the

691
00:51:52,891 --> 00:51:57,350
lies that the inquisitors
told related to witchcraft,

692
00:51:57,351 --> 00:52:00,350
covens and so on, were
always also linked to sex.

693
00:52:00,630 --> 00:52:07,150
And somehow, apart from demonizing
those people, they also demonized sex.

694
00:52:08,610 --> 00:52:12,810
They defiled the sexual act, which is
one of the most beautiful things in life.

695
00:52:12,811 --> 00:52:15,110
And I wanted to...

696
00:52:15,930 --> 00:52:16,930
Well, I felt like it.

697
00:52:16,970 --> 00:52:24,631
And one of the things that I was
very careful about was that all the

698
00:52:24,632 --> 00:52:29,050
moments that goes into
The script could seem sordid.

699
00:52:30,250 --> 00:52:32,350
Many people told me, but
how are you going to shoot this?

700
00:52:32,351 --> 00:52:32,950
And this, seriously?

701
00:52:33,030 --> 00:52:33,530
Does it do this?

702
00:52:33,650 --> 00:52:34,650
Such.

703
00:52:35,930 --> 00:52:38,930
They were as delicate
and beautiful as possible.

704
00:52:39,770 --> 00:52:41,890
May they be beautiful moments.

705
00:52:41,891 --> 00:52:43,450
Delicate moments.

706
00:52:45,310 --> 00:52:50,690
For paying tribute a little
and for giving him that...

707
00:52:52,370 --> 00:52:54,901
Well, that positive and
beautiful aspect that He has

708
00:52:54,902 --> 00:53:00,370
sex when it is done
freely and in a way...

709
00:53:01,210 --> 00:53:02,410
With love, right?

710
00:53:02,430 --> 00:53:03,430
Let's say in some way.

711
00:53:05,090 --> 00:53:07,370
Here, one thing that, well...

712
00:53:08,630 --> 00:53:10,930
I threw the verticals out
of the plane, as you see.

713
00:53:10,931 --> 00:53:17,190
Because right now they are
standing, somehow, right?

714
00:53:17,310 --> 00:53:24,350
Here, although they lie down, they
are really elevated, they are standing.

715
00:53:26,230 --> 00:53:27,510
Love lifts them up, right?

716
00:53:27,511 --> 00:53:28,511
Somehow.

717
00:53:34,550 --> 00:53:39,250
Another very nice aspect of the
film for me is the soundtrack, right?

718
00:53:39,251 --> 00:53:40,710
What did they do to Nani Maite.

719
00:53:40,850 --> 00:53:43,490
In this case we see
these beautiful choruses.

720
00:53:48,830 --> 00:53:53,550
Who dialogue with another... On the one hand,
There are very romantic moments, very beautiful.

721
00:53:53,850 --> 00:53:57,030
Somehow, with that
exaltation of beauty.

722
00:53:57,890 --> 00:54:03,450
But it contrasts with that type of
music that is much more nocturnal.

723
00:54:04,290 --> 00:54:07,570
Full of sounds, whispers,
of more conceptual things.

724
00:54:07,830 --> 00:54:11,150
So, let's say that the soundtrack...
It played between those two worlds.

725
00:54:11,250 --> 00:54:12,410
Well, here we see the hare.

726
00:54:12,980 --> 00:54:14,470
Which, as you
see, has The Eye...

727
00:54:15,450 --> 00:54:17,730
A one-eyed like Sterchi.

728
00:54:18,650 --> 00:54:23,230
And to film the hare we had
a hare that they brought to us.

729
00:54:23,231 --> 00:54:25,346
We just put her there,
so she could be calm.

730
00:54:25,370 --> 00:54:31,770
And the face of that hare
was digitally recreated.

731
00:54:33,950 --> 00:54:36,250
The breathing
became exaggerated.

732
00:54:36,470 --> 00:54:40,190
We take advantage of that
breath so that... So that...

733
00:54:40,810 --> 00:54:42,230
Stop that laugh, right?

734
00:54:42,290 --> 00:54:44,542
And then, obviously,
all these plans

735
00:54:44,543 --> 00:54:47,591
where we see the hare,
since they are digital.

736
00:54:49,110 --> 00:54:55,270
Because, of course, you can't
tell a hare what to do, right?

737
00:54:55,350 --> 00:54:59,290
It's a totally... totally
wild animal and...

738
00:55:00,110 --> 00:55:02,874
And then what we do is,
well, we have a real basis,

739
00:55:02,875 --> 00:55:07,810
We always take very good
care of it, and then digitally...

740
00:55:09,150 --> 00:55:10,110
It gets better.

741
00:55:10,170 --> 00:55:12,130
Or is it given that
fantastic point, right?

742
00:55:12,150 --> 00:55:15,210
Or we give it the
acting we need.

743
00:55:15,430 --> 00:55:21,410
A curious thing about the hare
is that at first it was going to talk.

744
00:55:21,690 --> 00:55:27,463
In the script I had it said dilindalan
apaixa kampai arekin LAN, which is it.

745
00:55:27,603 --> 00:55:27,710
..

746
00:55:27,711 --> 00:55:30,930
Kampai garlic is ringing the
bell, but it is also masturbating.

747
00:55:31,450 --> 00:55:36,450
So, it was like he was going to speak
both in The Forest and in the church.

748
00:55:37,610 --> 00:55:38,530
But... But...

749
00:55:38,531 --> 00:55:42,050
When we shot it, of course, then we
had to make the mouth speak and so on,

750
00:55:42,190 --> 00:55:46,090
I made the decision to just make him
laugh so it would be much more subtle and

751
00:55:46,091 --> 00:55:49,050
suggestive and even
more terrifying, right?

752
00:55:49,610 --> 00:55:53,210
I think that the other way
maybe it could have been a little...

753
00:55:53,730 --> 00:55:55,490
We could have skated that way.

754
00:55:55,990 --> 00:56:01,071
So, well, I made the decision to make it a
laugh and for that we took advantage of The...

755
00:56:01,650 --> 00:56:03,850
Well, that breath, right?

756
00:56:03,890 --> 00:56:06,210
That he had his
own... his own hare.

757
00:56:06,350 --> 00:56:07,350
Sit down.

758
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:16,460
I have received your request to
work some land, an apple orchard...

759
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:17,840
Well, as you see...

760
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:22,200
Well, this is a sequence
shot, this scene, practically.

761
00:56:22,380 --> 00:56:27,580
Well, at the beginning we saw a
shot of Peyo entering the kitchen,

762
00:56:27,581 --> 00:56:29,421
but the conversation between
the two of them is now gone

763
00:56:29,422 --> 00:56:32,421
to be developed with a
single track movement.

764
00:56:34,900 --> 00:56:39,200
The truth is that these
types of approaches...

765
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:45,680
I always really like it because I think it
gives it a certain narrative and dynamism.

766
00:56:45,681 --> 00:56:48,800
If you really get
what you want, right?

767
00:56:48,860 --> 00:56:54,880
How the spotlight jumps from
one to another, how the light hits it...

768
00:56:57,020 --> 00:56:58,380
Well it depends which character.

769
00:56:58,420 --> 00:57:02,280
Suddenly here Mateo
comes into more backlight.

770
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:10,400
It's almost like it's some kind of evil
spirit whispering in your ear, right?

771
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:17,180
Well, the development of the
shot supports the narrative itself.

772
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,120
For me that is one of the
greatest things in cinema.

773
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:24,633
It is a type of exercise that
I love, but at the same time

774
00:57:24,634 --> 00:57:30,380
Maybe it also makes you
able to fit the plan into times.

775
00:57:30,381 --> 00:57:33,459
Because, as I tell you, we
did it in five and a half weeks,

776
00:57:33,460 --> 00:57:36,440
This movie is crazy,
with many effects.

777
00:57:36,660 --> 00:57:37,580
It's vintage.

778
00:57:37,581 --> 00:57:38,600
It has a mouth, it has action.

779
00:57:38,980 --> 00:57:44,820
And, well, many times these sequence
shots, although it supposes that there are

780
00:57:44,821 --> 00:57:47,220
Teaching a lot
also saves you time.

781
00:57:47,460 --> 00:57:50,360
So, well, it's part
of the director's job.

782
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:53,220
Well, the church, here you
see the upper part, is digital.

783
00:57:53,660 --> 00:58:00,260
That is, from The First
Tejadito upwards it is digital.

784
00:58:01,100 --> 00:58:06,460
The location is Arguiñeta, the
cemetery that I told you about before.

785
00:58:06,461 --> 00:58:08,740
And from there up it is digital.

786
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:16,080
And here we are again
in the golden church.

787
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:28,260
This sermon, well, the one you see here with
The mustache is my father and this is my mother.

788
00:58:28,340 --> 00:58:29,860
And that girl is my niece.

789
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,760
This sermon is
taken from Ashular.

790
00:58:34,761 --> 00:58:40,740
Ashular was a mythical
Basque religious thinker.

791
00:58:41,020 --> 00:58:49,260
And, well, we decided to take The
Text, The same text as is, because the

792
00:58:49,261 --> 00:58:58,640
three evils of man, The
devil, Sin and the flesh.

793
00:58:58,820 --> 00:59:02,950
The worst of all is the
meat, is what Ashular says.

794
00:59:02,951 --> 00:59:06,113
So, we took that
sermon and put it

795
00:59:06,114 --> 00:59:13,430
as is, at least
in that first part.

796
00:59:13,670 --> 00:59:20,170
Here he speaks, for example, of the abbot
of Urdazubi, who was Fray León del Anibar,

797
00:59:20,310 --> 00:59:24,750
who was the person who,
in history, in reality, in history,

798
00:59:25,150 --> 00:59:29,672
poured the lie about
witches into everything

799
00:59:29,752 --> 00:59:33,310
what is the zone
Sugarramurdi, from Sareta.

800
00:59:33,710 --> 00:59:42,290
It is said that there was a woman called
María de Similegui, who came from Lapurdi,

801
00:59:42,590 --> 00:59:46,650
from Iparralde, from
France and such.

802
00:59:46,930 --> 00:59:52,210
But then, well, if you start connecting the
dots, if you start investigating and so on,

803
00:59:53,590 --> 00:59:58,570
It turns out that the Simileguis were
linked to the family that, on the part

804
00:59:58,571 --> 01:00:04,410
from Iparralde, I call Pierre de
Lancre, He hired him to destroy families

805
01:00:04,411 --> 01:00:11,890
that they were contrary to him, who
was The Lord of Urtubia, I think he was.

806
01:00:13,770 --> 01:00:20,210
And that, well, they are basically
common interests of people in power who

807
01:00:20,211 --> 01:00:25,370
He uses witchcraft to destroy
his enemies, in some way.

808
01:00:26,330 --> 01:00:28,970
And here it is
known that Fray de...

809
01:00:29,190 --> 01:00:33,090
Fray León de Araníbar had
contacts with The Lord of Urtubia.

810
01:00:33,710 --> 01:00:39,190
But hey, that's history, and
what we have in this movie is a...

811
01:00:40,050 --> 01:00:42,930
well, a poetic representation
of that whole world

812
01:00:42,931 --> 01:00:46,310
history and all those
night legends, right?

813
01:00:46,510 --> 01:00:53,466
In The Story, Mateo
leaves the church when

814
01:00:53,467 --> 01:00:58,670
The hare appears and
gets lost in the forest.

815
01:00:58,671 --> 01:01:01,207
Here I made the decision
that the Door would become

816
01:01:01,208 --> 01:01:04,930
in a kind of nocturnal
dimensional portal, right?

817
01:01:05,510 --> 01:01:07,270
Playing here with the light...

818
01:01:08,990 --> 01:01:12,842
And we see how the dog
leaves, but Mateo stays,

819
01:01:12,843 --> 01:01:16,370
Let's say, in that kind of
nocturnal dimension, right?

820
01:01:16,590 --> 01:01:19,790
That the night
traps him forever.

821
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:25,320
And it disappears.

822
01:01:27,100 --> 01:01:28,500
Here we see The Open Missal.

823
01:01:28,740 --> 01:01:31,207
Another thing that tradition
says is that if The missal is

824
01:01:31,208 --> 01:01:34,760
is left open, witches can
enter the church, right?

825
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:40,200
That is, if you don't close it, then
witches can access that sacred site.

826
01:01:40,780 --> 01:01:47,900
And this would be, let's say, the final
representation of Mateo Chistú, which is that figure

827
01:01:47,901 --> 01:01:54,980
that appears in the night chasing
that hare forever and ever, right?

828
01:01:55,100 --> 01:01:59,040
You can hear their
jokes, their whistles.

829
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:03,020
And if you meet him,
obviously, Well it's fatal.

830
01:02:03,900 --> 01:02:05,140
No, it's not true.

831
01:02:05,180 --> 01:02:06,180
How do you know that?

832
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:07,580
You weren't there.

833
01:02:07,940 --> 01:02:11,040
The priest himself told
me before he disappeared.

834
01:02:11,220 --> 01:02:14,200
Enough of keeping the
forms, that we know everything.

835
01:02:14,580 --> 01:02:15,400
It just can't be.

836
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:16,560
He swore he would keep me...

837
01:02:16,561 --> 01:02:23,180
And this is when it is revealed
that the three ladies, well... really...

838
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:25,080
No, what?

839
01:02:25,380 --> 01:02:26,660
That they didn't force you?

840
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:27,420
Did you do it?

841
01:02:27,421 --> 01:02:30,140
They've been asking
you, let's say, through...

842
01:02:30,141 --> 01:02:36,388
Using stories as... as a
channel, what they wanted

843
01:02:36,389 --> 01:02:40,620
was to know the truth about
Sterchi's accusation, right?

844
01:02:41,580 --> 01:02:45,040
Because, as they say, they took
her and burned her in Logroño.

845
01:02:45,180 --> 01:02:47,440
Imagine what she had to
suffer when they burned her.

846
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:52,740
I... I didn't know that... Well,
This is... it is also a plan...

847
01:02:53,220 --> 01:02:56,358
We made a plan against
June, the camera was leaving

848
01:02:56,378 --> 01:02:59,440
getting closer, and, well,
June's performance is incredible.

849
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:02,240
In other words,
June's ability to...

850
01:03:03,340 --> 01:03:10,380
of doing one take and another getting into
The same level of emotion was incredible.

851
01:03:10,460 --> 01:03:12,300
I mean, I was capable of
crying over and over again...

852
01:03:12,301 --> 01:03:15,936
The truth is that
June is a great actor.

853
01:03:15,937 --> 01:03:18,541
and I think it will
give us a lot of joy.

854
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:20,700
And here comes The Coven.

855
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:24,620
Well, all the cartouches you have
seen are also carved in wood, eh?

856
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:25,780
That... that too...

857
01:03:26,460 --> 01:03:27,460
I needed to say it.

858
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:33,560
And then, well, here begins the story
of the coven and the witches, right?

859
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:36,852
In this story we are
going to find a lot

860
01:03:36,853 --> 01:03:41,060
of moments that also
appear in others...

861
01:03:42,300 --> 01:03:43,980
in different stories.

862
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:51,200
Well, here we see that Peyo has not died,
because really with the little muscaria hand,

863
01:03:51,220 --> 01:03:54,120
Well, no... it's very
difficult to kill you.

864
01:03:54,121 --> 01:04:00,560
It can give you very bad indigestion and you
can see things, but... but not kill yourself.

865
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:08,220
And this moment in He Who the Witches
Pull Out His Hair is also based on a

866
01:04:08,221 --> 01:04:15,940
story and a phrase that they have previously said that
we are, that we are not, that we are eleven thousand.

867
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:20,800
That's when you deny a witch.

868
01:04:21,060 --> 01:04:22,780
That happens in a story, right?

869
01:04:22,781 --> 01:04:25,725
There is a girl who denies
that there are witches and

870
01:04:25,726 --> 01:04:29,060
suddenly eleven thousand
witches appear and tear out his hair.

871
01:04:34,820 --> 01:04:40,420
In Basque mythology, witches
have a bit of that duality of otherness.

872
01:04:40,460 --> 01:04:41,780
Well, in many
cultures it is like that.

873
01:04:42,300 --> 01:04:46,960
But I've always grown up
believing that witches weren't all bad.

874
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:49,689
In other words, if they
were bad, they had a reason,

875
01:04:49,749 --> 01:04:52,140
because of everything
they had done to them, right?

876
01:04:52,141 --> 01:05:02,080
And they are people who have been banished,
who have mistreated them, who have also

877
01:05:02,081 --> 01:05:06,222
banished, let's say,
the beliefs that represent

878
01:05:06,223 --> 01:05:09,180
themselves, that
link with nature.

879
01:05:09,300 --> 01:05:13,240
So in some ways, even though
they are terrible and can be terrifying,

880
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:21,320
They also represent Power
against a status quo, right?

881
01:05:21,321 --> 01:05:28,820
In this case, well, we see what is, in
principle, the most terrifying scene in

882
01:05:28,821 --> 01:05:38,140
the movie, which is the reality
behind The World of Witchcraft, right?

883
01:05:38,860 --> 01:05:43,400
Which is basically
death and torture.

884
01:05:45,300 --> 01:05:55,440
Well here, well, I wanted to represent
that hell, that warm hell in which He

885
01:05:55,441 --> 01:06:02,000
power, in this case, good, religious,
although the Inquisition often went

886
01:06:02,001 --> 01:06:08,400
independent of the Church, that is,
had power independent of the Church,

887
01:06:08,500 --> 01:06:12,740
What's more, they also
burned priests, but it is still also...

888
01:06:12,741 --> 01:06:16,320
that is, it is linked to religion,
because they use it as a weapon,

889
01:06:18,860 --> 01:06:21,320
also defiling it,
spirituality, right?

890
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:31,620
And well, using torture to
repress these different groups.

891
01:06:34,980 --> 01:06:41,280
Normally they used to be people of
power, the people they killed and tortured,

892
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:46,860
because precisely they wanted to end that
position, with that person who had that,

893
01:06:46,940 --> 01:06:56,120
well, then economic capacity, or
having influence, right?, in some way

894
01:06:56,121 --> 01:06:58,551
way, about the town,
about the people, and

895
01:06:58,552 --> 01:07:02,141
then they ended up with
precisely those people.

896
01:07:05,110 --> 01:07:07,370
You are not guilty.

897
01:07:07,750 --> 01:07:09,030
Here he tells you
that he is not guilty.

898
01:07:09,070 --> 01:07:13,190
As you have seen, during the movie they tell
her a lot, and She listens a lot in Him.

899
01:07:13,191 --> 01:07:16,501
wind, it tells you too
Iñaki tells him that too

900
01:07:16,502 --> 01:07:20,830
Marichu, Errudunzu tells him,
It's your fault, right? Your guilty.

901
01:07:21,390 --> 01:07:26,503
And here is Esther Chee, precisely,
the one that redeems it, because

902
01:07:26,504 --> 01:07:30,070
It's not your fault, She
has been forced to affirm.

903
01:07:31,270 --> 01:07:38,650
But the witches say, well, we have to
contrast him with The Boss, and that is,

904
01:07:38,670 --> 01:07:42,530
well, in this case it's Aker
Beltz, Right? That deity would fit,

905
01:07:45,630 --> 01:07:49,368
mainly male, right?, the goat,

906
01:07:49,369 --> 01:07:53,450
black, who is the one who
presides over the covens.

907
01:07:54,330 --> 01:08:00,550
I told you before that the inquisitors
were especially cruel to the rich.

908
01:08:02,310 --> 01:08:08,970
Precisely, in the texts of Pierre
Delancre, or The Inquisitor Salazar,

909
01:08:09,070 --> 01:08:12,230
who was the one who then went through the
towns, a bit collecting everything there was

910
01:08:12,231 --> 01:08:21,290
past, Salazar said that just the people
who had gone after them were the,

911
01:08:21,350 --> 01:08:25,590
As I said, something like the best people
in Navarra, something like that, right?

912
01:08:25,810 --> 01:08:33,190
And Pierre Delancre also talks about
how the rich dance, the nobles dance in The

913
01:08:33,191 --> 01:08:35,528
coven, the majority of
which were wealthy people,

914
01:08:35,529 --> 01:08:37,490
They mixed with poor people too.

915
01:08:37,930 --> 01:08:41,227
And here, well, we have this
moment in which they give him the

916
01:08:41,247 --> 01:08:42,510
flying ointment, which
is quite interesting stuff.

917
01:08:42,530 --> 01:08:47,710
It is something quite classic in different
witchcraft mythologies around the world.

918
01:08:48,170 --> 01:08:52,770
This is also a story collected by Brandi
Adam, that was that moment in The One

919
01:08:52,771 --> 01:08:58,293
A husband watches his
wife use an ointment to

920
01:08:58,294 --> 01:09:02,550
rub and fly off to
The Coven, right?

921
01:09:03,260 --> 01:09:08,910
And for this he says the mythical phrase
"Sasi gustien ganyetik, laño gustien aspitik",

922
01:09:08,911 --> 01:09:12,510
above all the brambles,
below all the clouds.

923
01:09:13,230 --> 01:09:15,690
And the husband says it wrong.

924
01:09:17,210 --> 01:09:21,457
He takes the ointment, spreads it
on himself so he can follow behind

925
01:09:21,458 --> 01:09:26,230
witches, but when he
recites it he says it backwards.

926
01:09:26,630 --> 01:09:29,286
Then The Husband
Ends Up Going Below

927
01:09:29,287 --> 01:09:31,830
of the brambles and
above the clouds, right?

928
01:09:32,090 --> 01:09:35,270
Until he arrives at the coven.

929
01:09:35,630 --> 01:09:41,650
And in The Story what the wizards
and witches do is laugh at him.

930
01:09:41,651 --> 01:09:45,630
The same thing
doesn't happen to Peyo.

931
01:09:45,910 --> 01:09:50,070
But well, I wanted to go
one step further, right?

932
01:09:52,090 --> 01:09:57,550
Here we see Xavi
López, wild boar.

933
01:09:59,330 --> 01:10:01,610
Another great actor
who left his skin.

934
01:10:03,110 --> 01:10:06,390
Everything that happens from
here is very physical, right?

935
01:10:10,980 --> 01:10:11,980
As you will see.

936
01:10:15,750 --> 01:10:21,510
What you are going to see now is a
mythical Western trick, which is that for a

937
01:10:21,511 --> 01:10:25,390
horse drags a person, now
I don't remember how it is

938
01:10:25,391 --> 01:10:32,190
calls, has a specific name,
but it is an effect that is that to do

939
01:10:32,191 --> 01:10:34,870
like a horse dragging
an actor, right?

940
01:10:34,990 --> 01:10:39,390
The actor is standing here in the foreground,
but suddenly he disappears towards

941
01:10:39,391 --> 01:10:44,650
down and we see that The horse is
dragging a... a cowboy or whatever.

942
01:10:44,730 --> 01:10:46,690
It happens right now.

943
01:10:47,270 --> 01:10:48,590
Did you say the phrase wrong?

944
01:10:49,950 --> 01:10:53,450
He disappears and the person who
has dragged him away is a specialist.

945
01:10:54,510 --> 01:11:02,810
And well, here however we
have Jabato being dragged.

946
01:11:02,970 --> 01:11:07,925
The skin was left on
and we combined the

947
01:11:07,926 --> 01:11:13,010
Ricardo specialists
Cross with our actor.

948
01:11:13,011 --> 01:11:14,490
A specialist actor.

949
01:11:19,870 --> 01:11:22,250
For example, we were
talking about music, right?

950
01:11:22,370 --> 01:11:27,891
Sarsarean, that is very Maite, Maite
Murcego, one of the two composers.

951
01:11:31,370 --> 01:11:37,210
The soundtrack is mostly
created with voices, right?

952
01:11:37,290 --> 01:11:39,310
The voices of the night,
the voices of witchcraft.

953
01:11:39,970 --> 01:11:44,390
And here we have The mythical flight,
where they all fly towards the quelarre.

954
01:11:44,690 --> 01:11:50,310
In principle it was usually represented
with animals, riding on donkeys, cows,

955
01:11:50,311 --> 01:11:55,310
clinging to chickens, but of
course, we couldn't do that,

956
01:11:55,410 --> 01:11:58,250
So what I decided was to
have them fly on objects.

957
01:12:00,050 --> 01:12:04,850
That slightly more classic vision, which
is the one with the broom, which must be

958
01:12:04,851 --> 01:12:10,690
imported, that must be from Europe, from
some country in Europe, from the center of

959
01:12:10,691 --> 01:12:15,191
Europe, but in the Basque Country it is
not recorded that witches rode on brooms.

960
01:12:16,130 --> 01:12:19,750
They were mounted
on animals, in principle.

961
01:12:22,510 --> 01:12:28,570
And this is when Cachalín
decides not to forgive him.

962
01:12:35,670 --> 01:12:42,950
And here, well, what we did was put
Xavi in The Floor, and then, obviously,

963
01:12:43,010 --> 01:12:50,050
digitally, Xavi is put in The Floor, then
a tilt-up is done, the camera towards

964
01:12:50,051 --> 01:12:54,594
up, to have movement,
it is reversed, and a

965
01:12:54,595 --> 01:13:00,030
digital doll going down
until it joins the tower.

966
01:13:00,630 --> 01:13:02,670
And here we come to the
moment of the quellarre.

967
01:13:03,870 --> 01:13:08,450
Well, the most ambitious
scene in the movie, right?

968
01:13:08,990 --> 01:13:14,490
As you can see, it is a
sequence shot, with 200 or so

969
01:13:14,491 --> 01:13:18,790
extras, with a
choreography, a song, right?

970
01:13:18,970 --> 01:13:25,670
First, what we did was compose
the choreography, first the song,

971
01:13:25,770 --> 01:13:28,810
then the choreography, with these people
who we see in the foreground who are

972
01:13:28,811 --> 01:13:30,890
dancing, which are a little
more choreographed, are

973
01:13:30,891 --> 01:13:36,410
a group of dancers, with
whom we create the dance.

974
01:13:37,670 --> 01:13:39,870
And then, there in...

975
01:13:41,230 --> 01:13:45,350
during filming, well, I had already thought about
what everything was going to be. The camera movement,

976
01:13:45,490 --> 01:13:47,210
also the camera
choreography and so on.

977
01:13:48,750 --> 01:13:53,910
And then, there, the dancers
taught the rest of the 200-odd

978
01:13:53,911 --> 01:13:56,010
extras what they had to do.

979
01:13:56,170 --> 01:13:58,770
I wanted it to be a kind of
dance that started as a kind of

980
01:13:58,771 --> 01:14:00,718
party, but then,
little by little, out

981
01:14:00,719 --> 01:14:02,830
becoming something
much more tantric, right?

982
01:14:02,910 --> 01:14:10,890
Very repetitive, that The rhythm, that we
first started with instruments a little more

983
01:14:10,891 --> 01:14:15,150
festive, but then it ended with a
kind of constant percussion and

984
01:14:15,151 --> 01:14:21,177
repetitive, which generates
that kind of whirlwind, which

985
01:14:21,178 --> 01:14:24,611
us... that ends in that
invocation, right?, in some way.

986
01:14:25,990 --> 01:14:28,330
What you see is a decoration.

987
01:14:28,530 --> 01:14:33,530
In the rest of the movie, the
forests are real, but obviously

988
01:14:33,570 --> 01:14:37,857
Well, it was not very feasible
to have so many people so light

989
01:14:37,858 --> 01:14:43,390
of clothes and dancing and so
on in a real forest, in February.

990
01:14:43,770 --> 01:14:49,830
So what we did was recreate, and
Zasko Nurguijo recreated the... this...

991
01:14:51,130 --> 01:14:54,310
This forest clearing, right?,
with its gobera and so on.

992
01:14:58,030 --> 01:15:01,050
And... and, well, as you
see, It turned out fantastic.

993
01:15:02,090 --> 01:15:05,810
We had a problem with the smoke
issue, yes, because every time we made a

994
01:15:05,811 --> 01:15:08,770
here, there were ten takes in total,
I mean, we did it in a single day,

995
01:15:08,771 --> 01:15:14,970
Half the day was all rehearsals, and The
rest of the day was... in the afternoon,

996
01:15:15,010 --> 01:15:18,507
Well, we did ten
takes until it was right,

997
01:15:18,508 --> 01:15:21,710
and the last one was just
before the end of the day.

998
01:15:22,510 --> 01:15:27,850
The problem we had was that,
with the smoke of the bonfire, he left...

999
01:15:27,851 --> 01:15:30,590
The... the room was filling up.

1000
01:15:30,710 --> 01:15:33,390
So, it was getting
denser and we had to...

1001
01:15:33,391 --> 01:15:37,630
Between takes we had to open
the doors to let out the smoke and...

1002
01:15:37,631 --> 01:15:40,110
and... and you could breathe.

1003
01:15:42,630 --> 01:15:45,132
But, well, imagine that
it is a sequence shot

1004
01:15:45,133 --> 01:15:48,490
very complicated, with
many elements, with...

1005
01:15:50,550 --> 01:15:52,646
with... well, with a
lot of ambition, then,

1006
01:15:52,647 --> 01:15:55,271
Well, the truth is that
doing it in ten takes...

1007
01:15:56,890 --> 01:16:01,790
It was quite an achievement, honestly, to do it
in a single day, because the normal thing is that

1008
01:16:01,791 --> 01:16:05,101
have another day to be able
to rehearse it in peace, and...

1009
01:16:05,181 --> 01:16:08,190
and then, well, another day
to be able to shoot it, right?

1010
01:16:09,610 --> 01:16:12,871
But... but well, we...
we got it, because...

1011
01:16:12,872 --> 01:16:16,150
because the extras were
titans, and the entire team.

1012
01:16:16,310 --> 01:16:18,970
The truth is that it
was... it was a joy.

1013
01:16:19,030 --> 01:16:23,430
It was very... very nice, The atmosphere was...
It was very... very cool, there was a very energy

1014
01:16:23,431 --> 01:16:28,010
cool, and... and the truth is
that... it was unforgettable.

1015
01:16:28,210 --> 01:16:32,130
And here we see Kerbelz,
that deity would fit, right?

1016
01:16:32,131 --> 01:16:35,445
A black goat that, in
principle, for the great

1017
01:16:35,485 --> 01:16:40,130
most cultures, It's...
it's Satan, it's Lucifer.

1018
01:16:41,330 --> 01:16:47,930
In Basque mythology, however,
Kerbelz, from before, is already linked to

1019
01:16:47,931 --> 01:16:53,010
a deity that is linked to
nature, to... to fertility, right?

1020
01:16:53,530 --> 01:16:58,830
Like many other horned
deities, also, linked to the moon,

1021
01:16:59,990 --> 01:17:03,610
to the forest and so on, such as Kerbelz,
How can they be nunos, how can they be Pan,

1022
01:17:05,750 --> 01:17:10,630
and then, well, all the horned animals,
also linked to the mother goddesses,

1023
01:17:10,770 --> 01:17:10,910
No?

1024
01:17:10,950 --> 01:17:15,410
Like Paredros, where the horns
themselves also rhyme with the moon.

1025
01:17:15,450 --> 01:17:21,030
The moon is The cycle, too, of... of
menstruation, it is The cycle of life, right?

1026
01:17:21,150 --> 01:17:26,310
That was the calendar with which it
was measured The... The... the... the...

1027
01:17:26,810 --> 01:17:32,470
when... when... well, when you plant
things in the garden, that's fine, right?

1028
01:17:32,570 --> 01:17:37,070
Well, everything... agriculture and so on
was linked to the moon, and it was linked

1029
01:17:37,071 --> 01:17:39,890
a... what do I know,
Diana too, right?

1030
01:17:39,990 --> 01:17:43,570
Well, to all these elements
linked to witchcraft.

1031
01:17:43,690 --> 01:17:46,870
In The Case of Kerbelz, in Basque mythology,
it is like that, that is, it is an animal,

1032
01:17:46,970 --> 01:17:55,308
That is, he is an anthropomorphic
deity who protects animals, protects...

1033
01:17:55,309 --> 01:17:59,730
It protects nature and it's
not... it's not bad as such, right?

1034
01:17:59,790 --> 01:18:03,170
That then... let's say that that story
was... created by the inquisitors themselves.

1035
01:18:03,790 --> 01:18:09,790
And... and... it is usually
male, and I wanted to play that

1036
01:18:09,791 --> 01:18:12,690
androgynous representation,
which is not new, right?

1037
01:18:12,750 --> 01:18:18,350
Because... many gods linked to
nature are hermaphrodites, we can

1038
01:18:18,351 --> 01:18:22,630
find it in... in many paleolithic
and neolithic artistic figures,

1039
01:18:23,150 --> 01:18:26,910
and... and I really wanted to...
than creating this species like...

1040
01:18:26,990 --> 01:18:28,870
to Kerbelz, who is
like a baphomet, right?

1041
01:18:28,871 --> 01:18:33,988
That represents both
sexes and that in some way

1042
01:18:33,989 --> 01:18:37,270
It's the logical thing to
represent fertility, right?

1043
01:18:37,290 --> 01:18:39,050
It has the fertility
of both sexes, right?

1044
01:18:39,490 --> 01:18:45,010
And... and it was also important to me that
he showed himself as an elegant character,

1045
01:18:45,130 --> 01:18:45,670
No?

1046
01:18:45,850 --> 01:18:50,750
An intoxicating character, who casts that
love spell and makes everyone fall in love.

1047
01:18:50,751 --> 01:18:53,830
enjoy and love each
other in freedom, right?

1048
01:18:53,850 --> 01:18:57,310
To the point that... that
they rise and fly, right?

1049
01:18:57,330 --> 01:18:58,850
While they make love.

1050
01:18:59,970 --> 01:19:04,778
Here to shoot it, well, under... from
Akerbelz is Elias, The Actor Who...

1051
01:19:04,779 --> 01:19:11,855
who also played Inguma and... and
Gaueco, and he had some stilts and...

1052
01:19:11,856 --> 01:19:13,371
and an animatronic head.

1053
01:19:13,430 --> 01:19:14,430
It was quite complicated.

1054
01:19:14,490 --> 01:19:20,415
What we did was shoot the scenes without
Akerbelz on the one hand, leaving El...

1055
01:19:20,416 --> 01:19:20,790
in it...

1056
01:19:20,791 --> 01:19:25,050
in the painting that space so that Akerbelz
could later insert it, for example here, right?

1057
01:19:25,150 --> 01:19:28,850
That is, on the one hand we shoot Akerbelz against
Chroma and... and this one on the other hand...

1058
01:19:28,870 --> 01:19:31,850
The shot was shot
without... without Akerbelz.

1059
01:19:39,380 --> 01:19:44,450
And well, here we see
how... it had to fit well,

1060
01:19:44,451 --> 01:19:47,960
that just The finger fit with...
with Cachalin and others.

1061
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:51,820
In this case the hand is digital,
because no... we don't have a budget for

1062
01:19:51,821 --> 01:19:55,000
make a giant hand,
if I hadn't done it.

1063
01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:58,440
And here we see how... how
beautiful the animatronics are, huh?

1064
01:19:58,540 --> 01:20:01,040
How beautiful it is when it is
something real and physical.

1065
01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:11,520
And this is another of those moments that...
that they told me in... that The team told me...

1066
01:20:11,521 --> 01:20:14,300
When reading the script he said,
But how are we going to do this!

1067
01:20:14,460 --> 01:20:15,660
What gives him the ass, right?

1068
01:20:15,740 --> 01:20:19,420
That is, here we have The theme of... of
the infamous oculus, The... The black kiss,

1069
01:20:19,620 --> 01:20:24,620
which is The pact with... with The devil that
the... the inquisitors talk about, right?

1070
01:20:25,500 --> 01:20:32,540
So, what I wanted was that, by
giving him the ass, in a beautiful and

1071
01:20:32,541 --> 01:20:36,060
subtle and poetic, suddenly it
appears... it seems like Marichu, right?

1072
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:40,770
And that act of... that...
Let's say, that pact that

1073
01:20:40,771 --> 01:20:45,660
initially it's something
horrible, dirty, disgusting, right?

1074
01:20:46,460 --> 01:20:51,897
of the black kiss, suddenly became something...
something beautiful, something that...

1075
01:20:51,898 --> 01:20:56,192
because here in the end what we are talking
about is... about... the freedom of...

1076
01:20:56,193 --> 01:20:57,341
of these characters, right?

1077
01:20:57,380 --> 01:21:03,840
Of... of how Cachalin has fled from
Seba Sherry to find her own condition.

1078
01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:11,180
And, let's say, on this holiday of freedom,
uh... you are given that gift, right?

1079
01:21:11,220 --> 01:21:16,576
The... The gift of... of... of being able to
be who he is and being able to love, eh...

1080
01:21:16,577 --> 01:21:18,161
who he really loves.

1081
01:21:19,260 --> 01:21:24,300
Eh... the question is... a lot of people...
He... he tells me, but is it Cachalin?

1082
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:28,220
Or is it Ackerbiltz who
has become... Cachalin?

1083
01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:29,720
Hey?

1084
01:21:29,780 --> 01:21:31,320
Or did you bring it
from Among the Dead?

1085
01:21:31,420 --> 01:21:34,540
Well, that... I... I like that everyone
draws their own conclusions.

1086
01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:38,520
Because I think that's the
beauty... of... of cinema too, right?

1087
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:41,500
Let's leave those... those
windows open a little.

1088
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:48,260
And I think that... I think that... the
different reactions to this situation,

1089
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:52,920
Which to me personally seems like the most
beautiful scene in the movie, I think it's one...

1090
01:21:52,921 --> 01:21:53,921
a wonder.

1091
01:21:54,440 --> 01:21:57,177
Eh... well, each person's
reaction when seeing

1092
01:21:57,178 --> 01:21:59,540
This... this scene
portrays itself.

1093
01:21:59,660 --> 01:22:03,860
It's a bit, for me, the effect
that... that generates this...

1094
01:22:04,860 --> 01:22:05,760
this scene.

1095
01:22:05,761 --> 01:22:11,520
Now, for me... there is only one...
option... of what is happening here.

1096
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:13,180
Now, no... I'm not
going to tell you.

1097
01:22:24,020 --> 01:22:28,214
We showed this scene a lot, so that
the... the actresses could be there.

1098
01:22:28,215 --> 01:22:28,460
..

1099
01:22:28,461 --> 01:22:33,524
eh... at ease, calm down, eh...
you already know that... that you are

1100
01:22:33,525 --> 01:22:36,741
Scenes always have to be
done with The Intimacy Team.

1101
01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:40,700
And the truth is that I... that from the
beginning, from The story... I know...

1102
01:22:40,701 --> 01:22:43,480
I represented it to
him, as I wanted to do...

1103
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:48,300
in those dark shadows that... that suggest
more than they teach, and so that...

1104
01:22:48,301 --> 01:22:52,513
so that this sexual sordidness,
alleged sexual sleaze,

1105
01:22:52,514 --> 01:22:56,540
was represented in the most...
most beautiful way possible.

1106
01:22:58,240 --> 01:23:00,760
And here we have,
well... this ending.

1107
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:10,300
Where they are already alone.

1108
01:23:10,340 --> 01:23:11,380
There's no one else, right?

1109
01:23:11,480 --> 01:23:13,320
All the people from the
coven have disappeared.

1110
01:23:13,420 --> 01:23:16,300
And finally we... we
are left with Cachalin...

1111
01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:19,980
that sees us

1112
01:23:20,060 --> 01:23:21,060
That!

1113
01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:23,720
That kiss... to the public.

1114
01:23:25,740 --> 01:23:30,860
And... and nothing, eh... well, here is a
bit of the... let's say the final reflection.

1115
01:23:30,940 --> 01:23:36,780
Yes, I wanted to point out that all
those stories that were told about the...

1116
01:23:36,781 --> 01:23:40,040
of the witches who generated
so much suffering, right?

1117
01:23:40,260 --> 01:23:45,540
I wanted to support with that phrase,
Saying, eh... that... that they were a lie,

1118
01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:49,840
and what we do is pay
homage in some way...

1119
01:23:50,060 --> 01:23:54,180
somehow that... that lie, we
make it ours, we feed it and

1120
01:23:54,181 --> 01:23:58,474
We launch against those
who used those lies and

1121
01:23:58,475 --> 01:24:02,260
They continue to use it
today to... to subdue people.

1122
01:24:05,270 --> 01:24:13,750
And not... let them be, eh... and love
like... as each one... and each one wants.

1123
01:24:15,350 --> 01:24:16,410
And that's it.

1124
01:24:16,510 --> 01:24:19,530
And here, well, you see
all the people's credits.

1125
01:24:20,010 --> 01:24:21,750
You have to stay
to see the credits.

1126
01:24:21,751 --> 01:24:26,720
People, because there are the
names of all those responsible for the...

1127
01:24:26,721 --> 01:24:28,231
of the movies.

1128
01:24:29,550 --> 01:24:33,964
So, well, I think that with
this I'm going to tell you

1129
01:24:33,965 --> 01:24:37,790
leave with this... with
this wonderful soundtrack.

1130
01:24:39,370 --> 01:24:44,590
And... and nothing, I hope to see you
in... in another movie, in the next movie.

1131
01:24:44,830 --> 01:24:49,290
I hope it also comes out physically
and that I make the audio commentary for

1132
01:24:49,291 --> 01:24:53,350
share all these little secrets
with... with you and with you.

1133
01:24:53,570 --> 01:24:54,570
Come on.

1134
01:24:54,730 --> 01:24:55,990
A hug.

1135
01:24:57,030 --> 01:24:58,030
Then...

1136
01:25:02,270 --> 01:25:04,710
Oh, look.

1137
01:25:04,850 --> 01:25:06,650
I was just going to hit it... I
was going to take it away.

1138
01:25:06,730 --> 01:25:09,690
What they sing in The
Sabbath, as well as... little wink.

1139
01:25:09,910 --> 01:25:10,910
Hey...

1140
01:25:12,790 --> 01:25:15,470
Eh... It's a tongue twister.

1141
01:25:15,610 --> 01:25:21,730
Eh... what is... eh... The... eh...
The goat has its... its horns crooked.

1142
01:25:21,731 --> 01:25:22,430
No?

1143
01:25:22,450 --> 01:25:26,790
It's... It's like the
three tis... sad tigers.

1144
01:25:27,090 --> 01:25:31,810
And I wanted to... eh... use
something so... so... eh...

1145
01:25:33,170 --> 01:25:34,170
Innocent...

1146
01:25:34,470 --> 01:25:36,770
Eh... to summon...

1147
01:25:38,070 --> 01:25:39,110
to Kerbelz.

1148
01:25:39,490 --> 01:25:40,490
Hey...

1149
01:25:40,610 --> 01:25:42,490
Precisely because of
that game of lying, right?

1150
01:25:42,590 --> 01:25:45,210
I mean, it seems
like a kind of spell.

1151
01:25:45,470 --> 01:25:46,850
But it really isn't.

1152
01:25:46,950 --> 01:25:48,590
It's... it's... it's
just a... it's a...

1153
01:25:49,310 --> 01:25:50,910
It's a tongue twister.

1154
01:25:51,970 --> 01:25:52,730
So nothing.

1155
01:25:52,750 --> 01:25:55,491
Now, I leave you
with... the credits.

1156
01:25:55,590 --> 01:25:56,590
A hug...

1157
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:05,620
It goes out, it goes out to the zum zum,
zum zum, zum zum, zum zum, dinner.

1158
01:30:34,580 --> 01:30:38,980
Thanks for watching the video!
