Alex de la Iglesia’s latest production, feature “Four’s a Crowd,” is being brought onto the Cannes Film Market by Filmax, which has acquired international sales rights.
Described by Filmax as a “wild romantic comedy,” “Four’s a Crowd” turns on Julian, a 50-year-old divorced man who starts to use an app to share his car with strangers and most especially Lorena, a young woman with whom Julian would like to share much more.
He’s about to open up to Lorena when he’s lumbered unexpectedly with a fourth passenger, possibly the most annoying person on the planet, who sparks a radical change in the course of events.
“Four’s a Crowd” is “a very personal reflection on human joy and misery, where nothing is as it seems,” Filmax said in a statement.
Written with De La Iglesia’s career-long co-scribe Jorge Guerricaechevarría, “Four’s a Crowd” is produced by Pokeepsie Films,...

More than just cinema and more than just Castilian (fancy seeing a film in Kaqchikel?), this long-running Hispanic affair makes good use of its new home at Home with extra art exhibitions and an eye-catching theatre programme. Films include premieres of Alex de la Iglesia’s riotous New Year’s Eve farce Mi Gran Noche (Sat) and Basque family drama Amama (Mon), while Ricardo Darín’s Truman – the big winner at this year’s Goya awards – is the excuse for a celebration of everyone’s favourite Argentinian actor.
