Banderas and The Other Man will open San Sebastian

The British production The Other Man, starring Liam Neeson, Antonio Banderas, Laura Linney and directed by Richard Eyre, will open the 56th San Sebastian Film Festival. Based on the tale by the German author, Bernard Schlink, in his book Liebesfluchten/Flights of Love, the film describes a love triangle and a romantic obsession with elements of intrigue.
Director Richard Eyre, who debuted with a long career in British TV, has shown particular talent for the dramatic portrayal of amorous relationships in all their complexity with films like Iris (2001), Stage Beauty (2004) and Notes on a Scandal (2006).
Liam Neeson, Oscar candidate for Schlinder’s List, Antonio Banderas, Laura Linney, three times Oscar nominee (You Can Count On Me, Savages, Kinsey) and Romola Garai are the major names on the cast of this production shot in the UK and Italy, which will open San Sebastian Festival out-of-competition.
