CGiii Comment

Where has it all gone Senor Iborra?

2 years on from the excellent Km0 - you churn out this garbage.

Spanish cinema is stuck in a quagmire populated with Almodovar clones.The plethora of eccentric and excitable characters will give you a pounding headache.

Boys doing Shakespeare's girls is so old...and, as tedious as Shakespeare is to an imbecile.

This lacks a sliver of originality and is, quite frankly, a convoluted catastrophe.

Painful beyond tolerance.

The(ir) Blurb...

A Spanish theatre company is rehearsing Shakespeare in the original style using young men to play the women's roles. Complicating their endeavors is the previously straight director's infatuation the new young man whose charming everyone except the slightly older young man who he's replacing. When the young man on the way out decides to settle the score with the young man on the way up, he draws on what he's learned in the theatre. Enter Iago.
