So, Benidorm 2017 (2018) is an interesting watch. The film captures this odd blend of comedy and drama, which really sets a unique tone. You've got a tsunami looming on the horizon, yet the city feels eerily deserted, which creates this almost surreal atmosphere. Teresa, the hotel owner, staying put feels like a statement about denial or resilience, or maybe both. The pacing is a bit sluggish at times, but it kind of adds to the tension, right? The performances aren’t overly flashy but have a grounded quality that fits the story well. It’s not just about the impending disaster; it's more about human nature when faced with something colossal. It’s distinctive in its approach for sure.
Themes of denial and resilience against disaster · Grounded performances enhance the narrative · Interesting pacing that builds tension gradually
