Cast
Production
Escape entails Cortés' return to Spanish-language filmmaking after his 2007 debut feature The Contestant. Pitched by Cortés as "The Count of Monte Cristo backwards, Papillon backwards or Escape from Alcatraz backwards", the film is a Nostromo Pictures (Adrián Guerra and Núria Valls) co-production with France's The Project, in association with Mogambo, Cosmopolitan TV, and with the participation of RTVE and Movistar Plus+. In May 2023, Martin Scorsese was announced as executive producer. Rafael García is the cinematographer. Shooting locations included Armuña de Tajuña. Filming had already wrapped by 22 July 2023.
Release
Escape was presented at a RTVE gala held at the Kursaal Palace during the 72nd San Sebastián International Film Festival. It was also presented at the 57th Sitges Film Festival. Distributed by Beta Fiction Spain, the film is scheduled to be released theatrically in Spain on 31 October 2024.
Reception
Javier Ocaña of El País found a connection to the likes of Wenceslao Fernández Flórez, Ramón Gómez de la Serna, Enrique Jardiel Poncela, and Antonio Orejudo, and wrote about a "formidable" first hour, and an "excessively diluted" second hour.
