Naked Madrid

About This Movie

So, Naked Madrid is this quirky little comedy from '79 that really captures a certain gritty vibe of the era. It's centered around Baltasar, a wealthy guy who gets roped into the chaotic world of moviemaking, all for the sake of promoting Esmeralda, our ambitious actress. The pacing feels a bit erratic at times but it kind of works, with moments that are both hilarious and a tad uncomfortable. The performances really bring the characters to life, especially Esmeralda's drive to succeed in the film industry. It’s got that unique blend of dark humor and social commentary, reflecting the lengths some will go to for fame. Not your typical comedy, definitely has its own flavor.

Naked Madrid has a limited format history, primarily existing on VHS and a few obscure DVD releases, which makes it somewhat elusive for collectors. There’s a particular interest in the film due to its offbeat narrative and the cultural commentary it presents, reflective of its time. Given this scarcity, it might not be easy to find, but those who appreciate rare gems from the late '70s will likely want to keep an eye out for it.
