Dani Rovira Charts a Darker Turn With Playa de Lobos Now in Theaters

A pairing with Argentine star Guillermo Francella anchors the project’s bid for greater dramatic weight.

Overview

  • The feature, directed by Javier Veiga, is in cinemas and co-stars Rovira with Guillermo Francella.
  • Rovira describes the film as a genre-blending rarity that opens lightly before moving into darker territory.
  • He says the part left him exposed on screen and that working with Francella was imposing yet made him a better actor.
  • Rovira frames the release as a break from formulaic comedies, opting for projects that fit his current stage of life.
  • He cites long-running therapy and past illness as context for his choices and calls comedy his way of holding on to life.
