"An authentic cult movie. A fantastic depiction of atrocity in a sordid and grey Spain. A film capable of fooling a not so sharp but obstinate censorship.

El Pisito is, without exaggeration, one of the best Spanish films of all time"

Manuel Márquez

ANIKA CINE MAGAZINE

"Hilarious, lyrical and beautiful narrative (...) this is a bare vision of human poverty and moral and financial limitations.

(...) Mature cinematography, free from cliché, totally exportable, just like Italian Neorrealism.

Ferreri stays away from close-ups and works wonders when he silently sets the camera at the centre of the narrative action. He allows the characters to collide with each other, fill the space and create a super rich choral representation."

Emilio Calva de Mora

MUCHOCINE.NET

"A great movie with dark humour (...) [El Pisito] concocts a caustic portrait of the average Spanish citizen of that time (...) grotesque, farcical and quasi surrealistic (...)

Sensational use of humour employed with great talent to soften a sad and bitter reality.

Marco Ferreri's production and directing is first class, and Azcona's script is truthful and excellent."

FILMOTECA DE ANDALUCÍA

"An acerbic and realistic critique, full of extremes. A classic of Spanish cinema."

Fernando Morales

EL PAÍS

"This film has an exceptional capacity to portray the advantages and miseries of this country and, quite boldly, almost makes a ferocious social critique go unnoticed.

An immortal masterpiece."

Enrique Campos

PAISAJES ELECTRÓNICOS MAGAZINE

"A film not to be missed. Comedy? Black humour? I sometimes think it is absolute drama! Amusing situations that will make you laugh and reflect on money, materialism, hypocrisy and love."
