As Luck Would Have It

About This Movie

As Luck Would Have It has this twisty, offbeat charm that really sets it apart. Directed by Álex de la Iglesia, the film dives into the life of Roberto, this down-on-his-luck publicist who once struck gold with a catchy slogan. The pacing here feels a bit whimsical, balancing between comedy and some darkly tinged drama. You get this palpable sense of nostalgia as he retraces his steps to a hotel—only to end up in a museum filled with bizarre artifacts. The practical effects and set designs add this almost surreal quality to the atmosphere, enhancing that feeling of lost dreams and memories. The performances are layered; you can almost feel Roberto's desperation and yearning seep through the screen. It's not just another comedy-drama; it’s more like a meditation on fate and what we leave behind.
