Grand Tour (Manuel Gomes. Portugal, 2024, 2 h. 9 min.)
Another title that captivated the public during the last Cannes Film Festival. Gomes, in fact, won the Best Director Award at the event, for a well-rounded film, nominated for the Palme d'Or. Grand Tour also won the Best Editing Award at the Valladolid Film Week, which shows the quality of a careful production.
The Portuguese director has extended his career with these distinctions, the result of brilliant work in telling this story, which is none other than that of a coward. Edward (Gonçalo Waddington) is a British civil servant stationed in Burma in 1917, who flees... from his fiancée, who arrives ready to marry him. Molly (Crista Alfaiate) pursues her lover without taking her escape too seriously, through settings of exotic latitudes and times gone by, in a film that has not stopped receiving praise since its release.
Gomes, in this way, once again has his share of prominence thanks to the programming designed by the festival of the capital of Gran Canaria, which has always remained attentive to his artistic production, screening and awarding his works since the beginning of his career.
