As a seasoned gamer of international cinema, I’ve witnessed a plethora of tales unfold across the silver screen, and the announcement of Spain’s entry for the 2025 Oscars, Saturn Return, has certainly piqued my curiosity. Hailing from the vibrant music scene of 90s Granada, this biopic of Los Planetas promises a captivating origin story that could potentially shake up the Spanish music world and beyond.
As a gaming enthusiast (or gamer), I might rephrase it like this: “In the year 2025, I’m proud to say that ‘Saturn Return’, a biopic set in the ’90s about the beloved Spanish indie rock band Los Planetas, is our pick to represent Spain in the international feature film category at the Oscars.
Under the guidance of directors Isaki Lacuesta and Pol Rodríguez, the film “Saturn Return” first appeared at the Malaga Film Festival, receiving accolades for best direction, best editing, and best Spanish production. Since then, it has been showcased in various film festivals, including the Seattle Film Festival, the Guadalajara International Film Festival, and the Buenos Aires Independent Film Festival.
The movie “Saturn Return” chronicles the early days of the band Los Planetas during a critical juncture in the late 1990s Granada, as they were on the brink of creating an album that would significantly impact them and Spanish music forever. The cast includes Daniel Ibáñez, Cristalino, Stéphanie Magnin, Mafo, Chesco Ruiz, and Edu Rejón. The screenplay was written by Lacuesta and Fernando Navarro. Ikiru Films, La Terraza Films, Áralan Films, Bteam Prods, Sideral Cinema, Los Ilusos Films, and Toxicosmos AIE were the producers of this film, which was distributed in Spain by Bteam Pictures.
Lacuesta’s past works encompass “The Next Skin” (2016), “Between Two Waters” (2018), and “One Year, One Night” (2022). Rodriguez was the director of the 2016 film titled “Quatretondeta”.
Spain frequently vies for the title of Best International Feature Film, having earned 21 nominations, the latest being for “The Society of the Snow” directed by J.A. Bayona last year. It has also taken home the award 4 times.
The deadline for submissions for the 96th Oscars is Nov. 14, 2024. The shortlist for best international feature contenders will be announced Dec. 17. Nominations will be announced Jan. 17, 2025. The 2025 Academy Awards will be held Sunday, March 2.
