Career as producer and director of Targarona Sea It is heterogeneous, with the most diverse films, although if we pay a little attention to detail, especially when he directs, we appreciate a greater proximity to thrillers or horror. Titles like Kidnapping o Of the (in addition to her experience as a producer in The orphanage o Julia’s eyes) have served as an experimental laboratory to carry out The Cuckoo which we consider his best film to date, still understanding it as part of the construction process of his cinematographic discourse.
The Cuckoo presents us with an ambitious plot, with multiple ramifications and with juicy readings that delve into the roots of European culture and the survival of our medieval legacy. It is also a cinephile exercise, where the main reference is The seed of the devilalthough we can appreciate the dissemination of nods to other classic titles.
Led by a splendid Belen Cuestawho here continues to reveal herself as an actress with much richer backgrounds than her usual association with comedy, the film takes us into a flawed and morbid microcosm, where the director expands on some sequences of intense caliber.
It is true that, in the general assessment, it seems to us to be an uneven film, with elements that would have needed greater development from the script, but that, thanks to the fundamental support of the splendid photography of Rafa Lluch and the complexity of the score Diego Navarrothey acquire greater dimension and depth.
The Cuckoo It is one of those films that, without a doubt, are enriched by subsequent reflection.
