Las verdes praderas

One of the most loved of the Garci's movies, and probably the best that he made with González-Sinde, it has a fantastic Alfredo Landa as a middle aged man trapped on what he is supposed to do, supposed to enjoy and suppose to have as a man of his age, something that he really cannot enjoy and hurts him and everyone around him.

Describing the movie like this it seems like a drama, but it is a very funny situational comedy which also reflects perfectly how Spain was adapting to a consumerist world after so many years of dictatorship. It makes a fascinating double feature with the psychodrama "Vida Conyugal Sana".
