“Hello Russia!”, Berlanga’s unpublished film

Date:

On May 27, 2008, two years before his death, Luis Garcia Berlanga deposited a box in box 1034 of the Cervantes Institute, indicating that it would not be opened until his centenary. On June 10, 2021, the inheritance is extended and revealed, from which a comb-bound copy is distinguished. Hello Russia!A scenario of what should have been, but never was, the fourth part of the national saga.

National Rifle He noted Berlanga’s professional revival after an unequal stage and his affirmation not only as a special choral filmmaker but also as a political chronicler of the simultaneous current course of reality. In the film, set in 1972 and set on the Los Tejadillos estate owned by the Marquises of Leginécé, a Catalan industrialist, played by José Satoror, came close to each other while hunting for Francoists to get the relevant minister to leave a patent. For some electronic gates.

The whole of Spain in 1978 encouraged the satire of scoundrels and parasites, which was feared until the imminent advent of democracy, a change that put Bikoka at risk and put them in a game of chairs. The success was such that it had two sequels: National Heritage (1982), where after the end of the regime, the Marquis in Legin tried to restore his coastal bar in the city and in the court, and National III (1982), in which, out of complete oppression and fear of socialist rule, the Legines tried to flee capital to France.

In the 1990s, producer Andres Vicente Gomez became interested in reviving the series and sponsored Berlanga and Rafael Azcona to write a screenplay for the Marquise’s character, whose translator, Luis Escobar, was deeply impressed. But the actor died in 1991 and the script is useless. Azkona, whose professional relationship with Berlanga is deteriorating at the time, leaves the project and the producer seeks the consent of writer Manuel Hidalgo to reach a new version in collaboration with director and his son Jorge Berlanga. The text was approved, however, the pre-production did not solve the chain failure and, despite the high scores given to the script, the Ministry of Culture subsidy was twice rejected due to alleged form errors in the budget sections. And on this or that issue, you do not know, time goes by and the project goes black.

In Hello Russia!, The Marquis is dead, and the heirs go to Los Tejadilos with a cleansing spirit. Earlier, Catalan industrialist Jaum Canivel bought the Leginეeche family estate, except for the land where the family house is located and, as it turns out, the only water well in the area, which is an obstacle for the golf course. With urbanization planned by the Pole.

Luis Jose, the eldest son, who has just returned from exile, is on probation on various charges and is considering other business opportunities, such as restoring the Russian throne using the collapse of the USSR, signaling the rise of private property and greenery. The pastures were used by real estate speculators and his ancestral pilgrimage with a foolish Russ who wanders there, a lover of Tsar Nicholas’s probable grandson and a boomerang hen.

Hello Russia! This is Paella on Thursday. A Berlanga connoisseur intends to swallow this Astrakhanada Dressed with a smile and paid for a movie that no longer exists and that deals with La Codornitz, Bruges or Arnish farces. The discomfort of reading the script disappears throughout the length of the herd scenes, with the astonishingly sequential footage characteristic of the director based on dialectical table tennis where no one is listening but where we once again hear Jose Luis syncope crystal clear. Lopez Vazquez, Saza Trouble, Luis Siges’s Pig Delirium, The Joy of Agustინn Gonzალlez or The Terrible Wrath of Ampar Soler Leal.

Codes, gaze, timbre of all petitions, response and rage Hello Russia! We know them thanks to the inexplicable talent of a group of comedians who seemed to work openly, without a grid or interior monologue, as each of them was represented by a crowd.

Another thing to pay attention to when heard in the background is Valencia’s laughter. Berlanga’s Joy in each of these brilliant rhymes, which is full of detail and otherwise very common, is nothing new in his filmography as he repeats the structure of the first film – and after so many films – and is based on the pleasure of the characters. Returned to their axioms, birth, and clairvoyance.

Berlanga and Azcona had plans for Spain, they knew the social monster and felt the swollen monster of power in the hands of Cainites like us. The only difference between his characters and us ruling characters is that the former is always lost. In seconds it seems like time has put them in their place, which means they are still there, doing their job, robbing. When the booty is big it seems like no problem, there is something for everyone. But when it’s time for shortages, they do not shy away from hurting each other. They are hyenas. Moral scoundrel. Pure human matter.

Hello Russia! It happens in the 90s, but thirty years later it is still a vivid and accurate portrait of this garbage from careerists, bankers, industrialists, shy people, cobbies, liqueurs, bureaucrats, technocrats, monarchs, runners, aristocrats, Christmas scenes, builders. Christian Democrats, nationalists, patriots, and even Marxist intellectuals. In short, a well-known conspiracy of businessmen, vassals, and apolitical officials; Or right-wingers as their parents.

Peacefully spend the Holy Week of 2022 of our Lord Jesus Christ, Hello Russia! It reads like a capital letter that has never been, but in this edition of Pepitas de Calabaza (from Logroño like Azcona) it takes on the letter of nature and comes to us, between gift and privilege, in precise form and essence, the prologue of warm Manuel Hidalgo and the study of Aguilar And Cabrerizo’s Happy Epilogue. And it has the advantage over a movie that its blog can be blinded.

Finally, some good news in the press: that Berlanga is still among us, and then the bad news: we continue without relief. Because today there is no one, neither exists nor is expected in any discipline of peninsula satire that goes to the bottom of the shoe.
