TORREMOLINOS 73
Special Features: Introduction by filmmaker Pablo Berger
15th Anniversary
Pablo Berger's hilarious debut feature is set in 1973 Spain — Francisco Franco is still in power, and Alfredo Lopez (Javier Cámara, SEX AND LUCIA, TALK TO HER) and his wife Carmen (Candela Peña, ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER) are struggling to make ends meet. When the couple agree to make their own Super 8 erotic "educational" films to be sold in Scandinavia, however, their fortunes change overnight. Unbeknownst to them both, Carmen becomes a porn star in the Nordic world, and when a Danish crew flies in to help Alfredo make an Ingmar Bergman-inspired feature film called TORREMOLINOS 73, the pair find themselves pursuing careers in "show business." But Carmen is also eager to have a baby, and slowly the tension between the artist and his muse grows. TORREMOLINOS 73 also stars Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen (AFTER THE WEDDING, A ROYAL AFFAIR, ROGUE ONE) in a breakout role. (Note adapted from First Run Features.)
