La silla de Fernando (2006)
Masterpiece of its genre
This film is the blending of three exceptionally gifted individuals, David Trueba, Luis Alegre and, obviously, Fernado Fernán Gómez. Probably, the best movie in this genre ever made in Europe. You may think that a film with one character speaking sitting in a chair could be a little bit unexciting but it's just the opposite. Sharing this conversation with Fernando Fernán Gómez is one of the most tasty and pleasant cinematographic moments I had recently. When you finish the movie you just could feel a little gloomy for not having the chance of meeting Fernán Gómez personally. Tender and deep, hilarious and interesting; a masterpiece.
Two Much (1995)
An excellent droll movie.
Following the steps of the classical American comedies, this movie is much more than a sequence of jokes. Taste, astuteness and magnificent management of the cinematographic tools are just some of the features of this film. The direction is almost perfect, with a great control of the tempo of the story. The characters are balanced: fun without being caricatured. The good job with the casting and the master hand of the director have as a result that the actors are fun but they never overact. Like in "Some Like It Hot" or "The Seven Year Itch" when you are not laughing, you are smiling and enjoying the film. Nowadays, when most of the comedies are just a succession of gags, mainly tastelessness, or parodies of well-known movies, it's refreshing to find pictures revealing that hilarity and first-class cinema are completely compatible.
