La tribu

I really enjoyed it, smth to cheer me up in this quarantine, really bored with thrillers and s.... movies , this was like a caramel

The story is as outlandish as it gets, yet , because it's in the hands of the smart and legendary Spanish director Fernando Colomo, and a couple of incredible actors (Paco León+ Carmen Machi) the result is a very fun ride, with heart, that will tickle you and get your laughs for 90 minutes. And yes, it gets too sweet at the end, but the whole thing is not spoiled by that. Definitely a movie that keeps that Spanish comedic flavor so distinguishable in other renown directors like Luis Garcia Berlanga or Pedro Almodovar. You'll be left with a smile on your face after experiencing this.

Yes, it is outlandish, but just what I wanted! Light, entertaining, and with a bit of substance regarding connection to others. Don't expect much, but I came away with a feeling of satisfaction.

Music can help. Dancing can help too. Actually the latter almost always only works with the former. And if you have a character that is despicable, can he be cured too? The movie seems to have an answer for that. The movie begins with quite a crazy scene. Nothing explicit is shown, but our main character is obviously having an affair and we learn he is not a good man overall.

Which brings us to the journey he is about to have. Not before being completely humiliated (at least once). But when someone is down you can decide if you want to help or beat him. The former seems more Christian doesn't it? If this quite paper thin "excuse" for a story is enough for you, the movie is entertaining in itself. You do get good music and if you are into it, you also get a lot of dancing. It actually may get you to go dance too ...

Had no expectations but ended up laughing and really enjoyed it in the end. Was nice to see Badalona and Barcelona.. perfect place for a feel good movie !
