This intelligent political thriller from Spain is really awesome!
Antonio de la TORRE, who has already had notable appearances in very successful films from Spain (VOLVER / MAD CIRCUS / FLYING LOVERS / LA ISLA MINIMA), delivers his masterpiece here as a politician from Valencia. Under pressure because of justified corruption allegations, the hard-charging political professional is fighting for his political survival. And the audience is drawn into this nightmarish scenario by the production and the pounding music. This is brilliantly done! You have to see how Antonio de la TORRE shakes up a competitor's house in the tax haven of Andorra or desperately tries to escape his captors in a car. This is great political cinema from Europe!
And make no mistake: something like this doesn't just happen in Spain! But also in every other country in the EU! It's stupid that you miss such hits in the cinema!
Fortunately, the media library of the German-French television station ARTE now delivers!!!
