A bull's eye., 14 May 2000
Author: Rodion15 from Madrid, Spain

A bull's eye. A sarcastic rock-bottom insight into the worst of Franco's inheritance. It's like a Quijote of modern Spain. As its director commented himself `All Spaniards have a Torrente inside, the more vigorous that Torrente is, the worst we are'. Just those who fear their inner Torrente won't take advantage of this therapeutic movie.
