20 December 2015 | by (Germany) – See all my reviews

The film shows you how hard it is in Spain to excommunicate yourself from the catholic religion. This film may be some kind of slow, i must admit I enjoyed it a lot of times. The main actor is excellent. The film is based on his life. He co scripted the film. Esthetically, the film has some weaknesses. I recommend it more for the profoundness and the absurdity it shows. Or for anyone in search to discover the new Spanish cinema. Next film should be even better. I watched it at hamburg festival with some friends. half of us really enjoyed the film, the other half less... I hope the film will be distributed in Germany. The film has been to many festivals.
