El crack (1981)
El crack dos
A sequel based on the success of the first film in Spain, done by the same set of actors and Garci directing it was released years later. It did not had the same public success, but the Madrid atmosphere, exteriors, locations and music are another of Mr.Garci's masterpieces. German Areta, private eye, is in charge of another crime, at the request of his former director, that looks a very simple crime. But the investigation gets important sideline consequences involving complications to the crime. The "colateral" damages might prove...too much... For the private eye to continue his work but Garci as the old boxer story recalled by Areta in a moment of the film, lead us into the Madrid's Christmas nigth. Christma's eve drive to a mysterious Madrid mansion....luxury home of a very wealthy man...
Volver a empezar (1982)
Like good wine this film improves with time
Great film from Garci, proves with time (twenty years after...) the Academy award was very well deserved. Great photography of this beautiful northern Spain region. Very convincing actors. It is worth your time spent viewing it.
The main story takes place only during two days of this professor life in the coastal city of Gijon, and except an excursion to the countryside (beautiful, by the way) we experience the beauty of North Atlantic sea.
Barcelona is not a filming location for this film.
Only the very very good films like this one become part of the Masterpieces.
Gracias Garci por tu buen trabajo y las bonitas emociones que nos haces disfrutar con tu pelicula.
