Hundreds of mourners filed past the casket of Fernando Fernan Gomez in Madrid on Thursday to pay their last respects to one of Spain’s most important filmmakers.
Fans, colleagues from the Spanish cinema and theater world and politicians all gathered at Madrid’s Teatro Espanol. The prolific actor, director and writer died Wednesday aged 86.
Fernan Gomez’s coffin was covered in an anarchist flag — at his request, although he was not known to be politically active — and placed beneath a large photo of the actor smiling while holding a newspaper in his hands. Argentine tango songs — his favorites_ played in the background.”*
