Histeria de España

About This Movie

Histeria de España is this wild tapestry of modern Spain, woven together through a mix of comedy and documentary. Kikol Grau really captures the absurdity of the socio-political landscape, crafting a narrative that's as chaotic as it is revealing. The film feels like a carnival of eccentric characters, each one embodying some facet of Spanish identity, from the ridiculous to the profound. The pacing is all over the place, but in a way that mirrors the country's own tumultuous recent history. And those practical effects they use? Totally add to that grotesque charm. You get this sense of a collective trauma, yet it's layered with humor that keeps you engaged throughout. Not your typical doc, that's for sure.

A unique blend of genres · Captures the absurdity of modern Spain · Rich in character and thematic depth
