Spain's thriving film scene has gained international exposure in recent years. The country makes around 100 feature films a year and the film "Alatriste", which stars Viggo Mortensen, is the most expensive Spanish-language film ever made in Spain (about €24 million – US$30 million). It portrays Spain of the 17th century using both fictional and real characters. The most famous Spanish directors are Pedro Almodovar, Alejandro Amenabar and Agustin Diaz Yanes. Most foreign-language films are dubbed in Spanish, but non spanish movies can be seen in their original language versions at theatres of "Luna", "Ideal", "Alphaville" and "Renoir". Screenings will be found listed in newspapers and listings magazines. For those with a gasp of the language, Spanish film is a rewarding experience, especially enjoyed at one of the grand film theatres along Gran Via, such as "Capitol", which has screened films since the early 1900s.
