Some Time Later

It's hard to say if it's the worst movie ever, but I can say for sure that at least it's in top 3. The movie is full with the best of Spanish's actors, seriously, the cast is awesome, but there's no way of saying a single good thing about this "movie". The plot has no sense, the acting is weird, the tempo is slow, the dialogs are simply rubbish, etc. you name a bad thing about a movie and you'll find it here.

This film is for people who think, for those who appreciate the parable, subversive humor, stinging references to the system, politics, history, class struggle, manipulation and lying, for those who taste multiple meanings, and last but not least because it reminds us by Felini, Eugen Ionesco, Jodorowski, Boris Vian, Peter Greenaway, Monty Python and ... yes, Brazil. It is a work spiced with absurd elements, but which can be decoded into several keys, depending on your age, intelligence, sense of humor, knowledge and life experience that you have.

The follow up to "Amanece que no es poco" is another satire far more aggressive and deeper than the original. The critic about Spanish capitalism, class struggle and how the richer engulfs the lower classes almost on the Marxist level. Church is the another target too. Cuerda made an interesting film and if you are able to follow up the dialogs and classic literature it is even better; however it is obviously not for everybody even if you are Spanish born. A repetitive viewing could help get some of the jokes but those looking for light comedy will be frustrated and it was on the original. In brief; interesting and leave you thinking a lot. It is not as leftitest as it seems but is far from conservative.

It is not Amanece que no es poco but is close. Rural Spanish surrealism . José Luis Cuerda at his best.

It may seem that everything is Ok with this film: social message, good acting, good cinematography, clever dialogs, but...but..It is too boring.
