"In the mid 20th century Jon Mirande demonstrated with his prose that the Basque language was capable of producing cultured, universal literature. Everybody recognises its importance. But he is still a taboo subject. De Mirande is said to have been a racist. A paedophile. Nazi. Misogynist. Immoral. Every time his name is mentioned, fiery controversies break out. We don't know what to do with him. I want to make a film about Mirande. But I don't know how. Perhaps it would be more interesting to give him the floor". (Josu Martinez)
Reviews
It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
