- 2021 February 28, Gregorio Belinchón, quoting Daniel Brühl, “Daniel Brühl abre la Berlinale más insólita con su ópera prima como director”, in El País[1]:
- En Gracia, en cambio, era barcelonés, hacía gala de ello, y más en el restaurante. Un día un hombre grande, un obrero, no dejó de mirarme fijamente. Era obvio que yo no le caía bien. Me veía ahí, hablando del Barça, y debía de pensar que yo era un farsante.
