In these days of bloated budgets and CGI characters, it is short films like this, which won a Goya and launched Armero's career, that really reconcile you with the art of filmmaking and show how much you can get from so very little when there are talent and creativity involved.
Filmed in one enclosed location, with just two actors and no effects other than their voiceovers as they exchange furtive glances, this uniquely witty duel of thoughts and interweaving monologues that is "El Columpio" grips you with unexpected strength, and in a mere 9 minutes manages to construct a build-up and a climax that leave with the impression of having watched a singularly powerful comedy-drama and lingers in your mind long afterwards.
It's hard to catch now, even in Spain, but if you ever come across it, I promise it will be among the best spent 9 minutes of your life.
