Just watched the spanish-danish movie "Torremolinos 73" - it´s a story about a salesman in Spain in the 70´s who is about to loose his job, but is offered a chance (along with his lovely wife) to make and star in movies about "reproductive rituals". His wife practically blackmails him into doing it, because she wants a child and the movies will get them the money to afford having one. But then - slowly - things get out of hand...

It´s actually pretty funny in places, in other places it is basically sad - but worth watching I suppose, if nothing else, then for the fact that Mads Mikkelsen has a small part late in the movie as a talented young (ahem ;-) actor... blond Mads dressed up similarly to Death from Ingmar Bergman´s "The Seventh Seal" is a slightly odd thing to see, but quite amusing...

It really is a very funny and interesting movie - and the "reproductive rituals" thing, that is actually from the movie...

Looked around a bit - there is an edition with English subtitles available at a Spanish website called http://www.dvdgo.com - don´t know if that is any help...

Thanks for looking! But they want me to pay 10,34 euros for shipping... O__O

That is a bit much - ah, well, it is still a fairly new movie. Maybe with a patience it will come available somewhere at a reasonable price?

Let's hope it. Maybe they release a German version. :)
