Rebellion is like sex; When you reach a certain age, the practice becomes difficult, your kidneys begin to ache and your legs begin to tremble with need. That’s when we become conservative and start to smell like canned sardines. I don’t know if I can explain myself, but these are things that come to mind after seeing them I’m rebellious, the documentary film by my admired Paloma Concejero.
When Jeanette turned the rebellion into an anthem with the help of Manuel Alejandro, I was still a Micurria in shorts throwing rocks at cats and dancing to the yes-yes groups every time they came on TV: Los Mitos, Los Pasos, Modules, Los Angeles… in short, all that gang of modern groups that emulated the Beatles and whose songs I trembled on the eskay sofa like an epileptic. We are talking about squalid, black and white Spain, where people masturbated with rosaries transformed into ejaculations suffocated by repression. Aggggh!
