A movie with two huge stars and 96% on Rotten Tomatoes is on TV tonight

One of the leads of the beloved comedy is an Oscar winner.

The 2021 Spanish movie sees two rival actors (Banderas and Oscar Martínez) pitted against each other by an ambitious director (Cruz).

“When a billionaire entrepreneur impulsively decides to create an iconic movie, he demands the best. Renowned filmmaker Lola Cuevas is recruited to mastermind this ambitious endeavour,” the plot synopsis reads.

“Completing the all-star team are two actors with massive talent but even bigger egos: Hollywood heartthrob Félix Rivero and radical theatre actor Iván Torres. 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?”

Holding a very impressive 96% Rotten Tomatoes score, critics lavished praise on Official Competition for its satirical portrait of actors and filmmaking and for its fun central performances.

The movie is airing on TV tonight/tomorrow morning on Channel 4 at 1.20am. It is also available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, Curzon, Google Play, Rakuten TV and the Sky Store.
