Rodrigo Cortés

(Pazos Hermos, Orense, 1973) He wanted to be a painter, writer and musician; today, he does it all simultaneously by devoting himself to cinema. He was the director for Robert de Niro and Sigourney Weaver in ‘Red Lights’, Ryan Reynolds in ‘Buried’ and Uma Thurman in ‘Blackwood’. As a writer, Editorial Delirio published his two collections of “anti-aphorisms, breveries and hand bombs”, ‘A las 3 son las 2’ and ‘Dormir es de patos’, and the novel ‘Sí importa el modo en que un hombre se hunde’. His latest book is ‘Cuentos telúricos’ (2024), published by Random House, as well as his novel ‘Los años extraordinarios’ and the satirical dictionary ‘Verbolario’, which originated as part of the section of the same name that the author has maintained since 2015 in the newspaper ABC, where he is also a regular contributor. He discusses film, literature and music in two of the most popular podcasts of the moment: ‘Todopododerosos’ and ‘Aquí hay dragones’, alongside ArturoGonzález-Campos, Javier Cansado and Juan Gómez-Jurado.
