In a spectacular year for Eduard Fernández, who turns 47, the film *Marco* has emerged as a standout piece. The actor showcases two vastly different roles this year, both approached with astounding credibility. I recall the significant debut of this talent on the big screen with *Los lobos de Washington*. Even then, both the professional critics and discerning audiences sensed that an extraordinary performer had arrived in our cinema—and they were right.
Fernández has mastered various genres and has excelled in every role, regardless of the overall quality of the films. A glance at titles such as *Smoking Room*, *En la ciudad*, *El método*, *Ficció*, *Alatriste*, *Tres días con la familia*, *Biutiful*, *Pa Negre*, *El niño*, *El hombre de las mil caras*, *Perfectos desconocidos* (notably that phone conversation with his daughter), *Todos lo saben*, and *Los renglones torcidos de Dios*, along with his recent 2024 projects, reveals the actor’s unparalleled versatility. Fernández hardly requires makeup or prosthetics to fully embody a character and make it magnetic.
*Marco* is the ultimate showcase of this talent. A few extra pounds, a different hairstyle, hair dye, a mustache, and age makeup are all it takes to captivate audiences with Fernández’s performance. He grabs attention from the very first moment and does not let go until the film’s conclusion. The story of a conman caught in his own web is best presented through this other conman, whose truth stems from the essential lies of acting. This is why the film’s full title is *Marco, la verdad inventada* (Marco, the Invented Truth).
This new marvel highlights the collaboration between Fernández and directors Garaño and Arregui, the creative minds behind *Loreak*, *Handía*, and *La trinchera infinita*. May Eduard continue his remarkable run.
