CARTA EN CONTESTACIÓN A LAS DECLARACIONES DEL SR.GUARDANS

2011-02-11T02:34:00.000-08:00

Sr. D. Ignasi Guardans

En Estepona a 11 de febrero de 2.011

Muy Sr. Mío:

Me dirijo a Vd. Con motivo de las declaraciones que ha venido realizando a los medios de comunicación en relación con la presentación de una querella en su contra por la posible comisión en concepto de autor de un delito de prevaricación. Absteniéndome de explicarle mas cosas ya que Vd. Ha sido letrado en ejercicio y conoce perfectamente el alcance jurídico de dicha querella.

En dichas declaraciones Vd. Afirma que he facilitado de forma consciente información falsa a la autoridad judicial española, lo cual es incierto y deja ver la osadía que rige sus manifestaciones, ya que éstas las ha realizado sin haber leído o siquiera visto la citada querella y los documentos que acompaña, que son ciertamente comprometedores.

En dicha querella se adjuntan únicamente documentos auténticos que obran en un expediente administrativo y que me fueron entregados por funcionarios del Ministerio de Cultura Español.

Es por estas razones y por la gravedad de sus acusaciones que afectan gravemente a mi prestigio como letrado, que le conmino a rectificar dichas manifestaciones en el improrrogable plazo de cinco días o en caso contrario iniciare los procedimientos legales oportunos en protección a mi honor.

Aprovecho la ocasión para hacerle saber que mi despacho profesional se encuentra en la provincia de Málaga estando inscrito en el Ilustre Colegio de Abogados de Málaga, y no en el de Jerez de la Frontera al cual pertenecen otros letrados que además de ser parientes míos comparten conmigo el apellido Salido.

Sin otro particular, y a la espera de que toda esta absurda situación que Vd. Ha colaborado a crear quede resuelta, reciba mi más sincera consideración.

Alberto Salido

Abogado

DIRECTOR'S NOTE

2008-11-03T10:58:00.000-08:00

LA MULA

I thought it would be sensible to write a general note to put this project, about which I am passionate, into some sort of context.

Over the last twenty five years I have been constructing a trilogy of tragicomedies set in a European context. The central theme is that of humble, ordinary people struggling in a chaotic and often oppressive world to live their simple hopes and dreams. In this struggle of ordinary people to survive and dream in a world that is beyond any human understanding lie all the great themes of humanity. And it is this humanity which is at the centre of each subject: an attempt to see the great shifts and movements of history from a completely individual point of view.

The first of this trilogy was a film I made exactly 25 years ago in Scotland: called “Another Time Another Place”, the story of three Italian prisoners of war and their relationship with a young labourer’s wife. The film was very successful, won Phyllis Logan the BAFTA for most promising newcomer, and won some twenty intenational prizes at film festivals around the world. It made me famous in Italy!

The second was “Il Postino”, which starred Massimo Troisi, was nominated for five Oscars and won over 37 Internationl prizes. Although the film was in Italian, it was extremely successful at the box office all over the world and for a time held the record for the biggest grossing foreign language film of all time.

The third and final film is LA MULA: a story set in the Spanish Civil War and to be shot in Spanish with two of Spain’s biggest young stars, Oscar Jaenada and Maria Valverde. It is, I think, a completely original take on the war, being both human, rather than political, and I hope, extremely funny.

I hope you like it.

Best wishes

Michael Radford
