Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Landismo named after Alfredo Landa's character archetype: working-class Spanish men suddenly rich via tourism, morally bankrupt via opportunity. This film is practically a fossil of Franco-era sexual politics.
Director Mariano Ozores made EIGHTEEN films with Landa. Their collaboration basically built an entire subgenre of Spanish cinema that critics love to pretend didn't happen.
