Redonda y viene en caja cuadrada

About This Movie

So, 'Redonda y viene en caja cuadrada' is this quirky documentary from '79 that dives into the chaos of a ball game, but not in the usual way you’d expect. It’s shot with this satirical lens, capturing spontaneous moments and the crowd’s wild reactions that go beyond the game itself. The pacing is a bit erratic, which somehow fits the tone—like a rollercoaster of unexpected hilarity. What I find particularly interesting is how it steps outside traditional sports documentation to explore broader themes of absurdity in public life. It’s not just about the game; it’s about what happens when things spiral out of control. Definitely has its own flavor, and that makes it distinctive.

This film has an interesting place in the documentary landscape of the late '70s. Finding it on VHS or even DVD is a bit of a challenge due to limited releases. I’ve seen it pop up occasionally at collectors’ fairs, but it’s definitely not common. As a collector, it sparks curiosity with its unconventional approach, which can lead to some intriguing discussions among like-minded enthusiasts.
