El reino de Víctor

Juanma Bajo Ulloa was a young director really sensitive, but one day he lose his mind or something similar, maybe it was the power of money... But, back in 1989 he still was a great director with a lot of ideas and with many things to tell us. This film is about a young handicapped man that lives in a special world, a special kingdom (reino) only for him. He believes he is living a wonderful life, but the audience can see exactly what is happening. There is only a person who lives in the kingdom of Victor and the rest of humanity is out of it. Bajo Ulloa was able to show us the feelings of this young man and how they interfere with normal life. It's something similar to what he did in his two first long films, Alas de Mariposa and La madre muerta. All of them were dramas, incredible ones to be sincere. But suddenly, some chip in his head exploted and he changed to slapstick Spanish comedy, something unusual and much boring. Maybe some day Bajo Ulloa is to see again his first movie and is going to rediscover himself, and everyone is to have back one of the most promising young directors of Spain.
