Plot

A film about a dictator in the Spanish exile.

Sinekatalog’s take

Glauber Rocha's allegory follows a dictator in Spanish exile, played by Francisco Rabal, in a baroque, loud and fevered Latin American fable. Chaotic and visually overheated, it is a difficult, hallucinatory work.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
