Cabeza de perro

The Andalusian director of ASTRONAUTAS returns with this lively and quirky tale of Samuel (Ballesta of 7 VÍRGENES), a young man with a neurological disease that makes him feel completely cut-off from the world. After having been overprotected all his life, at 18 Samuel unexpectedly finds himself in Madrid. There he meets Consuelo (Ugarte) who’s almost as out-of-it as he is. Skewed shots, distorted imagery, and Amodeo’s idiosyncratic music suggest Samuel’s strange view of the world, yet don’t overwhelm the film’s excellent performances and emotional richness
