“My decisions aren't based on how many minutes my character will be on screen; it's about being part of something, wanting to be part of something that matters to you,” the Oscar-winning Spanish actor said. “Films can't change the world, but in some cases they can help make things better,” she added, especially for young people. “What you experience can sometimes have a greater impact when you're sitting in a cinema for two and a half hours ... than anything you might study over three years at school.”

Eskil, one of the sons of Cuban artist Wilfredo Lam (1902-1982), notes that his father was at once well-known and not known. Lam's life, like his work, was complex and therefore difficult to summarize and classify, which led him to be treated for a long time as a marginal figure within the history of Western art, despite being one of the pioneers of modernism. Now, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York wants to pay him the well-deserved tribute he never received in his lifetime.
