The Executioner (1963) (, Unrated)
Was it possible to make a speech against death penalty under a dictatorship, and even, make it as a comedy? García Berlanga and Azcona, probably the best couple in Spanish cinema ever, got it. The story is about a person who inherits the charge of executioner from his father-in-law, although he doesn´t want it, just to feed the family, and because they swear him he´s not going to kill anyone. However, he gets more involved each time by reasons he does not control. A very funny comedy, with great moments (the one in the lake reflects the surrealism the dictatorship had itself), but that also gives you the opportunity to think about death penalty, and the forgotten and unforgiven role of the executioner. |

Amanece, que no es poco (1989, Unrated)
Aunque demasiado surrealista para mí, debo reconocer que la idea de base no es mala. Y desde luego, me encanta cómo hablan de ella sus admiradores incondicionales. |
