The Bookshop Isabel Coixet's The Bookshop was the big winner at the Goya Awards (the Spanish equivalent of the Oscars) last night.
The film, which adapts Penelope Lively's tale of a widow who opens a book store in a small town, took home the prizes for best film, best director and best adapted screenplay. It is only the second time an English language film has been named best picture - with Coixet making it a double after 2006's The Secret Life Of Words.
Also winning multiple prizes on the night was Basque film Giant (Handia), directed by Aitor Arrewgi and Jon Garano, which picked up awards for Javier Agirre Erauso's cinematography, Pascal Gaigne's score and a new actor performance award for Eneko Sagardoy as the titular character among a host of other technical gongs.
The best first feature went to Carla Simon's autobiographical Summer 1993 (Estiu 1993) - Spain's foreign language Oscar.
