| DYING OF LAUGHTER is one of Alex de la Iglesia's better films (right up there with "La Communidad"). Terrific performances all-round help energize this politically savvy tale of fame, envy, success and love (or perhaps it's hate) set in the late Franco-era Spain. Some knowledge of Spanish politics/history is helpful, but the simple enjoyment of a well-told show-biz saga is really all that is needed to appreciate this funny, sour and nicely ironic movie. (The fashions/haircuts/attitudes from the 70s are priceless. Come on now: We didn't REALLY look like that? Yes, children, we did.) |
