Historias lamentables

It's been so long since Javier Fesser delivered a masterpiece of comedy like "El Milagro de P. Tinto" and I was afraid that after the letdown of "Campeones", which was a huge blockbuster and won Best Picture at the Goya awards, Fesser would be tempted to go the easier way to do a smash hit, but he just did not play it safe. This is his very own "Pulp Fiction"... 4 stories that may seem completely disconnected but ultimately add to a whole in a rollercoaster of emotions, twists and turns and dark comedy. A complete must-see, and it's even better if you know nothing beforehand, try to even avoid the trailers, and just let yourself go into Fesser's unique and genius vision.

My apollogies for using spanish but this phrase define such an excellent movie. Funny and with a clever sense of humour what is so hard to find(that osciles between black humour and playing a lot with the prejudices). Don't be afraid about the two hours of duration; doesn't feel hard at any moment.

And i cant wait to see the sequel to this coming up some 5 years from now, because this is really a trip into the unexpected.

its an overwhelmingly made comedy on the unfortunate among us, deliberately or not, its so twisted and fun so if you havent felt strapped to a chair from excitement, then this film will. its a flickk made up on 4 short stories that are extremely loose connected, one better than the other and so on, but the witt and the act are just amazing and the idea will for surtain be copied by some large film production company in the usa im sure, but they can never steal that spanish heart and soul and landscapes that are screened here.

the acting are academy award worthy on at least 4 caracters. the production is merely flawless and if you like comedy without the forever and everlasting verbal connotation like in stand-up comedy, and like the idea of pranks and good situation build up that makes you laugh 10 seconds before it happens this is a go for you.

what surprises me most is how musical score can dominate and cooperate itself into motions of emotions, and if i could get a tape of the scoreline i would have blasted the subwoofers out of the building.

so im old and grumpy, much like the caracter in story number two who likes sunrises, and i can only say that this is the best made tale of the unexpected from the least expected country when it comes to comedy, so run to the cinematheatre near you for this is fun. its a ten star recommend

The drama, the comedy, the suspense , is a well made storyline, is just wonderful from beginning to the end, best movie of 2020

It is a long time since I saw such a funny film. Really worth seeing. Very nice plot-twists and incredible characters.
