Featured review
The silly plot of the film is a mere excuse to take a subsidized and free trip to Miami for the actors and directors.
César (Hugo Silva) and Teresa (Alexandra Jiménez) are a happy couple living in Madrid. César has been living with Teresa for 17 years and they are supposedly the perfect couple. Until one night she confesses that she has slept with Coque Malla, César's great musical idol since his adolescence. Although she especially doesn't like Coque Malla and she doesn't really like its songs, however, the night before she enjoyed Coque, because she made love with him and now she tells Caesar. She is sorry, but he doesn't know how to react. César is really stressed when he learns his sweetheart has slept with his idol. César needs to talk to Coque, even though the singer no longer lives in Spain. So the couple travels to Miami in search of him, while they rethink their 17-year relationship and their own lives.
Coque Malla plays himself in this romantic comedy starring Hugo Silva (Marbella, el Ministerio del Tiempo) and Alexandra Ximénez (100 metros, Bajo terapia) and full of musical themes from Coque Malla himself (one of them was composed expressly for the movie, titled: ¨Todo ocurrió de pie (Everything Happened on Foot)¨. The film is really painful, with two of the best actors in Spanish cinema frankly wasted with insipid, silly, meaningless dialogue, in which they are continuously and unstoppably talking about sex and making love with each other or with others, in this case Coque Malla.
To highlight something, I would mention the cinematography of Javier Salmones, considered to be one of the best Spanish cameramen and expert on dark atmosphere, displaying a long career that includes several films, such as: ¨La posesión de Emma Evans¨, ¨Christmas Tale¨, ¨Blind Alley¨, ¨Rottweiler¨, ¨El hombre del saco¨, or ¨Romasanta¨. This is the first feature film by short filmmakers Teresa Bellón and César Calvillo, an uneven and truly idiotic romantic comedy about a couple in existential crisis, while they enjoy a trip to the United States, but in reality what they are searching for is their own identity.
According to the initial titles, it is produced by RTVE, Movistar, financing from the Government of Spain, Madrid Film Office, Madrid City Council, Residences of the Film Academy, all of them public or semi-public entities. But here in fact you can't see Madrid at all, only at the beginning El Retiro, you can see Miami in which the actors, technicians and the alleged producers had a great time, at the expense of subsidies and state financing. Rating: 4/10, below average.
