David Trueba’s Living is Easy With Eyes Closed
was the big winner at the 28th Goya Awards ceremony, landing the
Spanish Film Academy’s two top prizes -- best film and best director --
on Sunday night.Trueba’s film, based on the true story of an English teacher who motivated his students using Beatles music, beat out Gracias Querejeta’s 15 Years and a Day, Manuel Martin Cuenca’s Cannibal, Daniel Sanchez Arevalo’s Family United and Fernando Franco’s Wounded.
David Trueba's film Living Is Easy with Eyes
Closed takes its title from The Beatles' song “Strawberry Fields
Forever”, which John Lennon wrote while he was in Almeria, Spain, acting
in Richard Lester's How I Won the War in 1966.
Lennon may only have had a minor role playing Musketeer Gripweed in
Lester's war comedy, yet his presence in the film was the big story; his
image used to sell the movie on posters at the time and on the DVD
today. It was during the making of the film that Lennon first came to
wear what would become his trademark circular glasses.
