La vida perra

About This Movie

La vida perra is a fascinating dive into the life of Ángel Vázquez, a lesser-known Spaniard whose connection to Tangier is almost palpable. The documentary captures this unique ambiance, placing the city as a character in its own right. You get a sense of the grit and glamour of Tangier, and how it shaped Vázquez's literary voice. The pacing is contemplative, allowing us to absorb the nuances of his life, while the practical effects—like the authentic street scenes—bring a rawness that's often missing in more polished docs. The tone is reflective, maybe even melancholic at times, and you can't help but feel the weight of Vázquez's experiences as they unfold against the backdrop of this vibrant city.
