Pessime storie

Viewing this movie, as an italian "cinema lover", it's impossible for me not to remember the great film "I Mostri" directed by Dino Risi in 1963, who starred Vittorio Gassman and Ugo Tognazzi among the other character actors belonging to the "crème de la crème" used to perform during the Sixties in many works of the so called "Commedia alla Italiana". But that was (and still remains) a Masterpiece of the European cinematography!... In "Historias Lamentables" Director Fesser makes use of a certain amount of latin "black humour" with the help of a good cast of actors but the four stories are weaks and someway predictables. That said, if you have two hours to spend lightly it could be a nice choice.

A Spanish comedy. Several stories intersect in which the events, although isolated, for the protagonists have an impact. From a man who encounters his past and his purposes change, a son who fails to look good with his father, a woman who tries to scam an immigrant, and a con artist who does not know how to be held accountable. Quality. Entertaining With a spectacular epilogue. He has the same humor and acidity of champions, he is the same director. Use the same formula as the movie "Wild Tales" He talks about life itself and sometimes how we dodge things and not face them, how little resilient we can be. A nice movie to spend the afternoon.

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.

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.
