This film he took a tangent from his style to direct and produce The Basque Ball (La Pelota Vasca, 2003), a documentary film about the political problems of the Basque Country which caused a furor amongst Spain’s right wing politicians.Following this shot Caotic Ana (Caótica Ana, 2007) and his last film, A room in Rome (Una Habitación en Roma, 2010), is his first film shot entirely in English with an international cast.
