The post Álex de la Iglesia – Acción mutante AKA Mutant Action (1993) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

“Psycho Clowns in Franco Spain”: A twisted love triangle develops among a Spanish clown (Carlos Areces), his cruel rival (Antonio de la Torre) and the rival’s abused — but lustful — wife (Carolina Bang).

Jay Weissberg in Variety on the film for which Álex de la Iglesia has won the Silver Lion and an Osella for Best Screenplay in Venice, Balada triste de trompeta, known among English-speakers as either as A Sad Trumpet Ballad or The Last Circus: “Loud, tedious and unattractive in every sense, this barrage of blood set during the Franco regime combines the helmer’s customary cartoonishness with horror and ups it a thousand notches. Presumably his two vengeful clowns are meant to be an in-your-face comment on Spain’s fascist past, but the nonstop splatter has all the insight of an ultraviolent videogame.”

“The hideous tug of war is between puffy, owlish Sad Clown (Carlos Areces) and drunken, sadistic Happy Clown (Antonio de la Torre), yin-yang monsters whose deformed psyches eventually can no longer be camouflaged by greasepaint,” writes Fernando F Croce at the House Next Door. “At the center is Carolina Bang’s toothsome acrobat — the soul of Spain herself? If so, all the more credit to de la Iglesia for making her a darting-tongued lewdling who perversely relishes her own vile ravishment. The filmmaker’s lack of discipline ultimately mars the subtext, but the brazen fusion of Jodorowsky and Tashlin remains a heady mix that shows how timid and safe Pan’s Labyrinth really was.”

“[T]he film features a scattered mosaic of silent-film references, touching on James Whale and Tod Browning,” notes Guy Lodge at In Contention, “but its nightmarish sound mix makes a far stronger case for the merits of pre-talkie cinema.”

“Normally, I would run a mile from a movie with oddball stiltwalkers, flying midgets and comedy human cannonballs, but this had a wildness, sexiness and daring insanity that I found weirdly compelling,” writes the Observer’s Jason Solomons. “Two rampaging, disfigured clowns with machetes and machine guns duelling over a large-breasted trapeze artist on top of a 200ft-high cross? You gotta see that.”

Reports Camillo de Marco for Cineuropa: “‘It’s my most personal and risky film; I’ve put my heart and soul into it,’ explained the director, who identified with both protagonists. ‘In my opinion, it’s first and foremost a love story: mad, wild and horrible. In short, a mix of horror and passion: the things I love.’ On the dark period of the dictatorship, Iglesia says he has ‘brought out the anguish, with shades of film noir and irony, in order to be able to bury it. We have a terribly painful past which influences all our present-day lives. We’ve suffered pain and torture: things which change people and destroy the life of the film’s protagonist.'”

The post Álex de la Iglesia – Balada triste de trompeta AKA The Last Circus (2010) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

His teachers, coaches, childhood friends and Barça teammates, together with journalists, writers and prominent figures from the history of football, come together in a restaurant to analyze and pick apart Messi’s personality both on and off the field, and to look back at some of the most significant moments in his life. Viewed from Álex de la Iglesia’s unique perspective, Messi recreates the player’s childhood and teenage years, from his very first steps, with a football always at his feet, through to the decision to leave Rosario for Barcelona, the separation from his family, and the role played in his career by individuals such as Ronaldinho, Rijkaard, Rexach and Guardiola.

Quote:
On an ordinary day in bustling downtown Madrid, life ticks over as usual, while inside a decrepit and noisy central bar, a motley assortment of common urbanites is killing time indolently, up until a loud gunshot sends chills down the spine. Out of the blue, now a man lies dead in front of the bar in a pool of blood, and then surprisingly, in broad daylight, another death follows. Where did that mysterious lethal bullet come from? Is this an act of terrorism or is there a solitary invisible sniper hidden on a roof? As hysteria prevails and the bodies miraculously vanish into thin air, the perplexed and terrified bar’s regulars are bound to turn on each other, paranoid and suspicious of the potential assassin who might be hiding inside the place. Is there indeed a wolf among sheep?
