Worse… Impossible! XXVII - Respetable público

Jesús Parrado, coordinator of Peor… ¡Imposible!, analyzes how popular European cinema of the 60s and 70s used spectacle, action, and comedy to carry out a social critique that, at that time, was difficult for the Spanish public to reach. This reflection explores how international co-productions managed to transform reality into a film narrative capable of challenging tyrants and dictators through heroes and anti-heroes.

The text focuses on the complex cultural situation in Spain during those years, marked by an administration that limited free creation and hindered access to the cinematic proposals that were succeeding in the rest of Europe. It is a necessary look to understand the barriers our industry faced and how cinema, even under censorship, always sought ways to interpret and paraphrase reality. 🎞️
