Life Ahead (La Vida Por Delante)
Fernando Fernán Gómez, 90min, Spain, 1958, Comedy
An intelligent and priceless comedy about a young enterprising couple and their struggle to start their life together. The maverick Fernando Fernán Gómez, recently deseased, well known to La Mirada's audience for his film Strange Voyage and his role in The Spirit of the Beehive, delivers one of the most modern European films of its time. Its humour arises from the narrative devices cleverly introduced by Fernán Gómez, one of the most worthy and lucid man of our times. Screening followed by the Closing Night party.
