Hey, Toronto!
ScreenAnarchy is proud to present Dancing With The Devil -
an extensive retrospective of Spanish maverick Alex de la Iglesia
unspooling at the TIFF Bell Lightbox. Things continue this week with a February 3rd screening of his
Dying Of Laughter and we want to give you tickets!
Santiago Segura was launched to fame with his performance as the metalhead demon hunter in The Day of the Beast,
and he and de la Iglesia teamed up again for this jet-black comedy.
Segura and El Gran Wyoming (a popular Spanish TV personality) star as
Nino and Bruno, a superstar 1970s comedy team whose mutual loathing
increases along with their fame and success. After a series of
acrimonious splits, the duo agrees to reunite for a gala New Year's Eve
television special -- but those long-lived tensions soon crest into
full-on violence. A giddily nasty skewering of show business in general
and cheesy Spanish variety shows in particular, Dying of Laughter marked de la Iglesia and Segura's last collaboration until The Last Circus over a decade later, as Segura set out to pursue his own career path as writer, director and star of the massively successful Torrente series of action-comedies.
