Loosely based on the novel "Leakage, iron and fire" by Paco Ignacio Taibo I, "Redondo" is an amazing and brilliant cinematic journey, biting and irreverently funny, for the fantastic world of a spontaneous novelist who finds himself, putting in crisis some of the institutions and traditional values of his society.
Acting
Alfonso Arau's chaotic energy steals every scene he's in.
Writing
Taibo's source novel gives it genuine literary bite.
Director
Raúl Busteros
