The French actor Denis Ménochet has won the Goya for best leading actor for his role in As bestas, the film by Rodrigo Sorogoyen, where he plays a man who moves to a Galician village with his wife and there he finds himself facing their terrible neighbors, the Anta brothers.
"It is an honor to have participated in this film that highlights the strength of women in the face of the madness of men," said the French actor after receiving his award. Ménochet, who has worked with directors such as François Ozon or Quentin Tarantino, has been delighted with his time in Spanish cinema, which has brought him this somewhat unexpected Goya.
