I'm not Spanish, but I'm well aware of Spanish culture (or cultures) and very curious about the themes that tend to divide this country in two since the civil war! "Buen viaje excelencia" tries to depict the situation of Spanish government during the last years of Francisco Franco, when the dictator was showing strong signs of mental and physical illness, although until the day of his death he was presented to the world has a strong and in perfect shape leader. It's a satirical piece presented by one of Spain's most celebrated comedians "Els Joglars", a Catalan group that started on the sixties, and that tries to take to the cinema something that seems it would work better on stage, as a play!... Although funny at times, the film is unbalanced leaving a sense of broken pieces glued to each other. A curious document that portrays an age of changes in modern Spain, in the tradition of Italian political 'satyra'... Exaggerated but funny to watch at least if you're aware of Spain's 20th century history.
Review of ¡Buen viaje, excelencia!
