Historias lamentables

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

WTF how can THIS film have only an average of 6 here in IMDb?!? It it surreal, absurd, entertaining, well written and with actors that are one better than the other. Even photography is gorgeous! Maybe 9 is a little too high but I give it so to increase the score. Very nice movie, maybe just a little bit too long, but very nice movie!

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

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

I loved it, I'm generally tired of spanish movies. But nobody dares to do this, or any of the films he has made possible ever. Unique style, unique characters, fun and different. And this specific film reminds me of the short stories of the 60's Italian movies somehow. The only thing I didn't like was the techno music in most of the sequences. It was pretty distracting, sometimes too loud to understand the dialog and not very aligned with the style of each story.

Anyway, it is a good movie. Javier Fesser will always be my favorite.
