Criando ratas

About This Movie

Criando ratas is quite the immersive dive into the gritty underbelly of post-Franco Spain. The film embodies that raw, chaotic vibe of neokinki cinema, where you see families fractured by socio-economic strife. It paints a stark picture of life's harsh realities, blending delinquency, drugs, and violence into a narrative that's both unsettling and poignant. The pacing is deliberately erratic, much like the lives of its characters—each moment feels heavy with desperation. Performances are gritty and unrefined, almost documentary-like, enhancing the atmosphere. It doesn't shy away from showing the dark corners of existence, which gives it a unique edge. If you appreciate the unvarnished aesthetics of this era, this one certainly resonates deeper than most.
