In FIPRESCI award-winning director Jaime Rosales’s own words, his latest film is “really difficult for the audience.” Citing inspiration from the silent era of cinema while making a metaphorical statement on the “noise, not words” of Spanish politics, Rosales pushes the boundaries of filmmaking with a study in audience patience by essentially delivering a silent film – just two words are uttered in the 84-minute running time – in which, as Rosales readily admits, “nothing happens.”
