Isaki Lacuesta has returned to the Malaga Film Festival with his highly anticipated rock band drama Saturn Return (Segundo Premio), a fabled account of iconic Spanish group Los Planetas and their struggle to make their legendary third album, Una semana en un motor de un autobús. The film, directed by Lacuesta with Pol Rodríguez and written with Fernando Navarro, stars Daniel Ibáñez, Stéphanie Magnin, and musician-turned-actor Cristalino.
Saturn Return screened in competition in Malaga, where Lacuesta and Isa Campo won the best director Silver Biznaga for their 2016 mystery drama The Next Skin. Lacuesta explains that the film is not about Los Planetas but rather about the legend of the band and the mystique they have cultivated over the years, largely based on the band's songs.
