6/10
not bad, but I expected more
1 August 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Rafael is a very greed man, he has born to sell and he knows he will triumph in live. He is the boss of the women's section in a shops center, but he wants to become the big boss. Whe he losses in the race for it with Don Antonio, he accidentally kills him, so Rafael becomes the director of the shops center. Everything seems to be perfect, but Lourdes, an ugly and obsessive saleswoman has seen it and starts blackmailing Rafael in order to become his wife. Mad and terrified, Rafael decides to do something to make a plan to throw away Lourdes. Everything has to be "ferpect". After doing so good films as "la comunidad" or "el dia de la bestia" I expected something more from Alex de la Iglesia. THe film is not bad, it has a great rhythm and it is not boring, creating a great and acid parody of the typical society where the only goal is to become rich. The result is not as good as expected, the film is not bad, but it could be better, manly because of the stupidness of the characters, it is clear that we are inside one of the De la Iglesia's grotesques universes, but the story is too absurd, and actors are not reliable. Both of them seem too artificial and not natural, which makes the film much worse. It is funny, but this dark comedy is not as good as I think an Alex de la Iglesia's film should be, I expected something better.
