La Llamada (2017)
Oh Macarena!
"La Llamada" is a boring, not funny Spanish religious comedy. The movie has however a really good and enjoyable cast led by the beautiful Macarena Gómez, indeed all the actors are great. The problem is the direction and editing: each scene is painfully long and what could have been a good idea for a short is tiring for a full length movie. Nevertheless I managed to get to the end based on Macarena Gómez, whose mere appearance lights the screen.
Balada triste de trompeta (2010)
Best film of 2010
After the really disappointing "Oxford murders", Álex de la Iglesia returns with not only his best film to date, but with one of the best films in the last years. "Balada Triste de Trompeta" is a romantic-over the top-violent melodrama which mixes Tarantino, Hitchcock, Fellini, Todd Browning and of course it also has a lot of previous Álex de la Iglesia films like "Acción Mutante" or "El día de la bestia". Two men, one good and one bad, fighting for the love of a beautiful blonde trapeze artist (the gorgeous Carolina Bang) in a downward spiral of love and madness that also serves as a historical recount of the last 75 years of Spanish history.
No controles (2010)
This is what I call a good comedy!
Borja Cobeága debuted in 2009 with the unmissable "Pagafantas", a romantic comedy about unrequited love which turned into one of the best films of that year. Now he returns with another romantic comedy which will not disappoint the ones who loved "pagafantas". "No controles", which takes its name of an 80's electro-pop song that became an absolute hit in Spain, tells once again a story of unrequited love though here the main character still has a chance of getting (regetting, I should say) the girl of his dreams. The film also deals with the troubles of a comedian who is not really funny (the wonderful character Juan Carlitros). The film takes place in a hotel where the characters are forced to spend the night after their flight has been cancelled due to snow. One night in which our hero will have to regain the love of his ex-girlfriend.
