Promoting Ceniza en la boca and independent cinema
Mexican actor and director Diego Luna appeared for the first time on the RTVE talk show La Revuelta, hosted by David Broncano at the Teatro Albéniz in Madrid on 30 September 2026. Luna visited the programme to discuss Andor and promote his new feature film, Ceniza en la boca, adapted from the novel by Mexican author Brenda Navarro. When the studio audience followed programme tradition by asking the guest for free cinema tickets, Luna refused the standard giveaway format to defend commercial viability for smaller film productions.
“Independent cinema needs tickets to be sold, not only to avoid losing money, but so that cinemas allow us to be there.”
Luna reached a compromise with the attendees by offering to pay for one cinema ticket per audience member out of his own pocket. The offer carried one strict condition: every recipient had to bring a paying companion to the cinema and discuss the film afterward.
Migration themes and political commentary
The interview moved to the central theme of Ceniza en la boca, which traces the journey of a Mexican migrant woman in Spain and examines family separation. Luna addressed international migration dynamics, noting that European countries and Spain have increasingly become destinations for Latin American migrants as conditions in North America grew harsher under Donald Trump.
“Trump's immigration policies, the widespread, open hatred, there is a tremendous pride in that ignorance, a brutal persecution.”
Broncano agreed during the broadcast, stating that Trump generated open xenophobic pride. Luna noted that migration is rarely voluntary and argued that recipient nations carry the responsibility to show empathy. He described cinema as a tool to discover lives beyond one's own, expressing hope that such curiosity translates into generosity, tenderness, and respect in everyday life.
Classic questions on money and personal life
The broadcast featured lighter interactions, including an unscripted stage-crasher and exchanges regarding Broncano's wardrobe. Luna also addressed the programme's recurring questions regarding money and sex. Having researched previous episodes, Luna refused to disclose his bank balance, calling the financial inquiry obscene and noting that Broncano had never revealed his own net worth.
“I don't want to ask it anymore, but whenever we have made a move to stop asking it, people have gotten angry.”
When pressed on the frequency of his sexual relations over the past month, Luna joked that the count exceeded what he could count on his fingers without including masturbation. Luna asked Broncano why he continued posing the intimate question after a decade of broadcasting, prompting the host to explain that audience pressure prevents him from dropping the routine.
