Two very different liturgies provide the context for the two films most nominated for the Goya awards, which will be presented on February 28 in Barcelona: Sundays, by Alauda Ruiz de Azúa, with 13 nominations, and Sirado, by Oliver Laxe, with 11. One has the Catholic Church as its backdrop, and the other, culture radishAnd both have generated intense debate, both among critics and viewers. One excessively strains the dynamic of moral equidistance when it comes to a teenager's religious vocation, and the other hammers home the point of so-called "cinema of cruelty." In any case, they are two works with a great deal of cinematic substance that manage to extend their impact beyond the closing credits.
