Choral dramatic comedy in which through five independent stories in which the Catalán Cesc Gay elaborates an ironic portrait of the inability that people have to manage their emotions , including simple dialogues and disconcerting incidents . Five comedic tales revolving around at random , insecurity , paranoia with a love triangle , uneven age , emotional cowardice and focusing on the emotions of the main characters and told with certain rhythm and movement enough . Formed by the following segments : ¨Tengo ganas de verte", "Sandra" , "Los martes y los jueves¨, ¨Me has hecho muy feliz estos meses" and ¨Paris¨. Laura (Anna Castillo) is in love with her neighbor, Álex (Chino Darín). When they are together talking quietly at home, her partner, Raúl (Javier Rey), appears unexpectedly . Laura decides to hide Álex. Luis (Alex Brendemühl), still regretful for having been abandoned by his ex-wife, visits some old friends, Carlos (Antonio de la Torre) and Ana (María León), who encourage him to go out with Sandra (Eva Reyes), an actress theatrical whom he meets in a cafeteria. Three friends, Carol (Alexandra Jiménez), Blanca (Maribel Verdú) and Ángela (Nora Navas), meet again while attending a casting. Andrés (José Coronado), a mature writer, meets his young partner, Bárbara (Alejandra Onieva) for lunch. Edu (Quim Gutiérrez), partner of Sofía (Verónica Echegui), with one child and expecting another, is remorseful for having been unfaithful.
The all-star-Spanish cast are part of the attractiveness in this puzzle comedy that ironically shows ridiculous situations , embarrassing happenings , malicious gossip , hypocrisy and surprising events that anyone can feel identified with . Movie of episodes in similar style to the antology Italian films that proliferated in the sixties and seventies that were copied by Spanish filmmakers , but in this current film we must add modern idiosyncrasy with plenty of free relationships , sex changes, adulteriousness , bad language and continuous references to making love . The main key offered by these episodes is insecurity, not to mention paranoia with a love triangle , couple cheating, uneven age , emotional cowardice...The film is full of silly dialogue , a lot of verbal intercourse and , of course , loads of swearing and foul-mouthed language . Reality is confused with desire , others lie more than they speak , and there is no shortage of falsehood disguised as sincerity, also including flirting with surprise and a meal with wine from the house that doesn't turn out quite right . The picture relies heavily on excessive talking , but this one doesn't make boring , but entertaing enough , though mediocre .
Historias para no contar (2022) talks about those secrets that are unconfessed , social prejudices , future relationships , infidelity , jealousy , gossip ... a set of themes that how tells its director Cesc Gay could be summarized: ¨Everything that transits between what we are and what we want to believe¨.
It contains colorful and evocative cinematography Andreu Rebés , shot in Barcelona (Spain) and mostly done indoors . As well as atmospheric , adequate musical score by Arnau Ballester . The motion picture was professionally written and directed by Cesc Gay but with no originality . Cesc was born in 1967 in Barcelona, where he often shoots his fims . He is a writer and director, known for the successful Krámpack (2000) , Una pistola en cada mano (2012) , En la ciudad (2003) , V. O. S. , Ficción (2006) and ¨Truman¨ at his best , the latter won several prizes such as Cinema Writers Circle Awards, Spain 2016 Winner CEC Award Best Film , Best Director Cesc Gay , Best Actor Ricardo Darín , Best Supporting Actor , Best Original Screenplay Cesc Gay , Feroz Awards, among others . Rating : 5.5/10 .
