Review by alserrano

The first films of Garci cowritten with Gonzalez Sinde have a common theme of the analysis of the Spanish equivalent of the baby boomer generation, once the dictatorship is gone. José Sacristán plays a character he played so often in the 70s, the conservative liberal, but the film is about the night, about being lonely, and how we can end up mixing up being independent, upright, incorruptible and being an ... a not nice human being. Or better, how can one justify being mean and keep being alone as a self fulfilled prophecy.

This one really changed me, in a moment I needed it. And I thank Garci (Who I will ever love despite his missteps) so much.
