Alex de la Iglesia turns a thriller/comedy in his sui-generis style
Alex de la Iglesia's black comedy -mosty filmed on the Castilian highway and at the Hotel Marqués de Riscal- dealing with a crazy road movie, being well paced, competently played and delightfully entertaining . At his 50 Julian (Alberto San Juan) , divorced and with a money problem, uses 'BlaBlaCar' app to share car to travel Madrid. Falling in love with Lorena (Blanca Suárez) , an usual passenger and now he wants to take advantage of the next journey to confess his feelings for her. However, he makes a mistake when choosing the remaining occupants, the annoying Rodrigo (Ernesto Alterio) and fastidious Sergio (Rubén Cortada).
A disconcerting road movie combined with a romantic comedy, being an austerily enjoyable and brightly colored film
So his problems begin when in a travel two strangers join with them.Black comedy, bemusing situations , and rare roles by offbeat filmmaker Álex De La Iglesia who wrote as well, along with his customary screenwriter Jorge Guerricaechevarría. Álex de la Iglesia brings us a very mixed bag of outlandish characters, rapid dialogs , and absurd situations in a luxury car. De la Iglesia goes back to the black comedy terrain of previous works, focusing on the relationship among four off-the-wall roles. It can be very funny and very moving at the same time, so it was the perfect combination for me.
A madcap road movie that boasts a nice and attractive cast
This is a peculiar and fun flick in which Álex establishes again his uniquely breathtaking and visually striking style. Enjoyable interpretations from Alberto San Juan as a divorced 50-year-old man with cash problems who resorts to using an app to share his car, Blanca Suárez as his undercover love interest, Rubén Cortada as the good-looking, free-spirited young man and special mention for Ernesto Alterio who steals the show as the deranged, troublesome passenger who will spark a dramatic change in the course of events .This black humored picture was competently directed by Álex de la Iglesia produced in his New brand of horror films he calls ¨The Fear Collection¨ along with his wife Carolina Bang, in fact , the character played by Alberto San Juan bears certain resemblance to Álex, because he's a divorced man, as De La Iglesia who recently married a woman twenty years younger, Carolina Bang herself; similar to Blanca Suárez and Alberto San Juan, both of whom are indeed separate 20 years from each other. As has become common in Álex de la Iglesia's filmography , this new entry swings between humour , thriller and tension, in this case in the guise of a hilarious road movie combined with a romantic comedy and joining fine actors who have previously worked with the Basque filmmaker, such as: Ernesto Alterio and Blanca Suárez in ¨The Bar¨.
