Last Saturday, when I was contemplating which topic to choose for the 500th (that’s right) blog post here, Spanish television came with an answer. This movie.
It is refreshing to see such an intelligent and funny film whose protagonists, for a change, come in vastly different shapes: rellenit@s, gordit@s and, er, gord@s; group psychotherapy, love, death, sex (read the rest of clichés here), all this and more, beautiful Senegalese music and a song which I hoped never to hear again: Casi, casi by Raphael. The actors’ work — I don’t think I saw any of the cast before — is outstanding. I wish I knew Spanish better, or at the very least the subtitles to stay on screen longer than for a few milliseconds. That only means I have to watch it again some time.
