Originally published September 26, 2019 For Spanish director Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia’s first feature film, he did not hold back. The Platform (El Hoyo) is a daring debut, melding political allegory and sci-fi drama with some serious bite. Beautifully paced, the film is told in three acts, each more revealing than the last. In The Platform, a man wakes up in a dystopian vertical prison with a stranger as a cellmate.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes! I still have my mom’s electric typewriter.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Most recently? Camille Preaker from Gillian Flynn’s “Sharp Objects”. She’s deeply human, and I just really love Gillian Flynn.

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

We didn’t have a school paper, so no. There wasn’t enough to report on, I’m guessing.
