The third of six films presented by the Embassy of Spain in Malta on the occassion of the Spanish EU Presidency.
That this dark little yarn is set under a bright sun is only the first of multiple ironies of "The Wooden Box."
Striking debut by writer-director Juan Carlos Falcon, about the effects on the local community of the death of a Canary Islands villager, shows the seriocomic spirit of Luis Berlanga lives on in Spanish cinema.
Black humor, drama and social critique combine in a '60s-set item whose well-turned script, fine performances and peculiarly Spanish air makes this a typical Iberian feast.
