Trailer for Official Competition starring Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas

April 14, 2022 by Amie Cranswick

IFC Films has released a trailer for Official Competition, the upcoming comedy drama from directors Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat.

The film stars Antonio Banderas and Oscar Martinez as a Hollywood heartthrob and a radical theatre actor, and follows the duo as they are put through a series of eccentric trials set by a renowned filmmaker (Penelope Cruz) for a role in her role in her next film.

Watch the trailer here…

When a billionaire entrepreneur impulsively decides to create an iconic movie, he demands the best. Renowned filmmaker Lola Cuevas (Penélope Cruz) is recruited to mastermind this ambitious endeavor. Completing the all-star team are two actors with enormous talent but even bigger egos: Hollywood heartthrob Félix Rivero (Antonio Banderas) and radical theater actor Iván Torres (Oscar Martínez). Both are legends, but not exactly best friends. Through a series of increasingly eccentric trials set by Lola, Félix and Iván must confront not only each other, but also their own legacies. Who will be left when the cameras finally start rolling?

Official Competition arrives in cinemas on June 17th.
