So, 'El agente viajero' from 1975, right? It's this offbeat little film that follows two traveling salesmen who are stuck trying to sell coffins in these quirky small towns. The atmosphere is a blend of dry humor and absurdity, with sketch-comedy style anecdotes that pop up like unexpected bumps in the road. It feels like a slice of life, albeit a morbid one, where the pacing allows for moments of reflection amidst the laughs. The performances are earnest, adding a layer of charm to the somewhat bizarre premise. You can’t help but appreciate how it plays with themes of mortality and the absurdity of life, all wrapped in a uniquely crafted narrative. Definitely not your average sales pitch.
'El agente viajero' has seen limited distribution, making original prints relatively scarce. It's been primarily available on VHS with few digital releases, which adds to its collector allure. The film's unique blend of humor and its peculiar subject matter have sparked interest among those who appreciate offbeat cinema from the era. It's a curious gem for anyone looking into lesser-known international films.
