Production
Escape entails Cortés' return to Spanish-language filmmaking after his 2007 debut feature The Contestant.[5] Pitched by Cortés as "The Count of Monte Cristo backwards, Papillon backwards or Escape from Alcatraz backwards",[6] the film is a Nostromo Pictures (Adrián Guerra and Núria Valls) co-production with France's The Project, in association with Mogambo, Cosmopolitan TV, and with the participation of RTVE and Movistar Plus+.[1] In May 2023, Martin Scorsese was announced as executive producer.[1] Rafael García is the cinematographer.[4] Shooting locations included Armuña de Tajuña.[6] Filming had already wrapped by 22 July 2023.[7]
Release
Escape was presented at a RTVE gala held at the Kursaal Palace during the 72nd San Sebastián International Film Festival.[8][9] It was also presented at the 57th Sitges Film Festival.[10] Distributed by Beta Fiction Spain, the film is scheduled to be released theatrically in Spain on 31 October 2024.[1][11]
Reception
Javier Ocaña of El País found a connection to the likes of Wenceslao Fernández Flórez, Ramón Gómez de la Serna, Enrique Jardiel Poncela, and Antonio Orejudo, and wrote about a "formidable" first hour, and an "excessively diluted" second hour.[12]
