So, 'This Is Not Hollywood' dives deep into the world of the Ibarretxe Brothers—these guys were real trailblazers in the Basque film scene. Jone, their niece, takes up the lens after losing her father and uncles, and you can feel that personal connection throughout. It’s not just a straightforward doc, it’s more of a mosaic, piecing together their cheeky creativity and how they played a huge role in Euskadi’s cinema long before it was mainstream. The pacing is quite reflective, allowing you to soak in their audacity and their dreams. The atmosphere is infused with nostalgia and a bit of melancholy. You get a sense of their spirit, the practical effects they dabbled in, and how they pushed boundaries creatively. Quite distinctive, really.
