Pasodoble

About This Movie

Pasodoble (1988) has this quirky vibe that really captures a specific kind of absurdity. The way a family takes over a museum—where, mind you, their grandmother once had a fling with a prince—is just a wild premise. The comedy unfolds with a mix of chaos and charm as you see the curators and bumbling police trying, and often failing, to remove them. It’s got this light-hearted yet tense atmosphere that keeps you engaged. The performances, particularly from the squatters, are surprisingly relatable, showcasing their desperation and humor in equal measure. The pacing feels just right, with moments of laughter interspersed with a subtle commentary on class and belonging that lingers after the credits roll. Just an interesting piece of cinema from that era.

Quirky comedy with a unique premise.Explores themes of class and belonging.Interesting blend of humor and social commentary.
