Between Two Waters Photo: Courtesy of San Sebastian Film Festival Isaki Lacuesta's Between Two Waters (Entre Dos Aguas) took home the top prize Golden Shell at San Sebastian Film Festival last night. The film - which catches up with brothers who first appeared in his The Legend Of Time (La Leyenda Del Tiempo) - marks the second time the Spanish has won the accolade, after lifting the prize in 2011 for The Double Steps (Los Pasos Dobles).

Spanish Cinema Now opened on Friday with Nacho Vigalondo's Extraterrestrial (it screens again on Thursday) and runs through December 22. Blogging for the Film Society of Lincoln Center, Jeffrey Bloomer notes that this year's festival features a 10-film retrospective of films by the late Luis García Berlanga, "who helped fuel a resurgence in Spanish cinema in the desolate years following the Spanish Civil War…. Two of Berlanga's most acclaimed films screen back-to-back on December 11 and 15. His beloved debut, Welcome Mr Marshall! (1953) [clip above], follows a village's misbegotten attempts to finagle post-war American aid from visiting officials, while Plácido (1961) is a winking Oscar-nominated Christmas story about a town where affluent families each take in a poor person for the holiday. Both are considered to be among Berlanga's masterpieces."
Back, though, for a moment to Extraterrestrial, "sci-fi comedy of cuckolding — a cynical and screwball study of love and suspicion," as Henry Stewart calls it in the L.
