Plots(1)
It's a morning just like any other on one of Madrid's popular squares. A few passers-by are sitting in a bar having a quick breakfast while others enjoy their first drink of the day. Suddenly, one of the customers is shot in the head and killed as he is leaving the bar. Another customer rushes to his aid but he too is fatally wounded and collapses on the street. Horrified, everyone tries to make sense of the incomprehensible events. Why are there suddenly no people in the square in front of the bar? Is there a sniper on one of the adjoining roofs who is firing at anyone who appears in his sights? Or could the perpetrator be in the bar itself? Anyone here could be the murderer and anyone their next victim. (Berlinale)

A pleasantly harsh and weird film. A couple of people locked in a bar, two dead bodies in front of it and a lot of paranoia. And a lot of dark humor. Probably they could've squeezed more out of it, but the scene with one of the protagonists squeezing into the sewer alone will keep it in my memory for a while.

Alex de La Iglesia from Spain comes again with an interesting project. His peak work (The Last Circus) remains unsurpassed, but The Bar, his latest film is better than his previous Witching and Bitching. The whole film takes place more or less in one place, a bar, where a group of strangers clash (I love this in movies!¨). Anyone who steps out of the bar is mercilessly shot in the head, the question is why. I will not give you the answer, you will find out only in the film. Anyway, it's nicely shot, Blanca Suarez spends more than half of the film in a bra and garter, there is some humour and the finale is pleasantly suspenseful, so I'm satisfied, I had a good time. 75%
