Off schedule and by surprise. This was Mrs. Letizia's visit to the headquarters of the Film Academy, where she attended a meeting with the filmmaker Martin Scorsese. The Queen, a great admirer of the director, has had the opportunity to greet him. In her filmography, she has memorable films like Taxi Driver, Bad Streets, Raging Bull, The Last Temptation of Christ, One of Our Own, Gangs of New York, The Aviator e Infiltrators.
The Queen and the director met in 2018, in Oviedo, when the New York director and screenwriter was awarded the Princess of Asturias Award for the Arts. Already then, Felipe VI's wife showed her admiration for the American's work.
Scorsese, 81, entered the auditorium of the Film Academy and was greeted with great applause from the audience, who stood up to show their gratitude. The New Yorker held a conversation with the Spaniard Rodrigo Cortés, director of Love in its place, The joke, Down a dark hall, By active y passively. Doña Letizia, passionate about cinema, has signed up for this surprise event, which was held days before the Goya Awards ceremony, on February 10.
Very smiling and waving with her right hand, the Queen has arrived at the Academy headquarters. She has chosen a nuclear white pantsuit combined with a barbicore pink coat.
