Não Gosto de Dirigir

Although I am not that well versed in the language I could understand the feelings and frustration of the central character going through life's crisis in his 40"s which I am as well. Life's intricacies woven around the central character and the people he happens to encounter as he makes his way about entangling himself. Beautiful characters and character study although I wished the writer had thrown in more screen time between the professor and the mature lady student he occassionally meets in the college hallway and the young student who dots on him. I wish we had more access to Spanish movies in our country and in theaters infact with subtitles if required. Tranquilo.

Pablo, a grumpy middle age university professor with car phobic since childhood, decides, almost as a challenge, to get his driver's license.

The experience makes him come out of his ivory tower and "misanthropy", and with a lot of humor discover people who were indifferent to him before.

To kill oneself laughing with the character of Lorenzo (David Lorente) the driving teacher and his "folk philosophy"

Very funny, excellent direction, actors and a good script and well deserved awards and nominations, Almería International Film Festival 2022 , Feroz Awards, ES 2023, Fotogramas de Plata 2023, Zapping Awards 2023 ...

Highly recommended.
